1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundClinical assessments of peripheral artery disease (PAD) severity are insensitive to pathophysiological changes in muscle tissue oxygenation and energy metabolism distal to the affected artery. PURPOSE: To quantify the blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) response and phosphocreatine (PCr) recovery kinetics on a clinical MR system during a single exercise-recovery session in PAD patients. STUDY TYPE: Case-control study. SUBJECTS: Fifteen Fontaine stage II patients, and 18 healthy control subjects FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE: Interleaved dynamic multiecho gradient-echo ASSESSMENT: Blood pressure in the arms and ankles were measured to determine the ankle-brachial index (ABI). Subjects performed a plantar flexion exercise-recovery protocol. The gastrocnemius and soleus muscle BOLD responses were characterized using the T STATISTICAL TESTS: Comparisons between groups were performed using two-sided Mann-Whitney U-tests. Relations between variables were assessed by Pearson's r correlation coefficients.

resultsThe amplitude of the functional hyperemic BOLD response in the gastrocnemius muscle was higher in PAD patients compared with healthy subjects (-3.8 ± 1.4% vs. -1.4 ± 0.3%; P < 0.001), and correlated with the ABI (r = 0.79; P < 0.001). PCr recovery was slower in PAD patients (τ DATA

conclusionMR readouts of calf muscle tissue oxygenation and high-energy phosphate metabolism were acquired essentially simultaneously during a single exercise-recovery session. A pronounced hypoxia-triggered vasodilation in PAD is associated with a reduced mitochondrial oxidative capacity. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 2 Technical Efficacy: Stage 1 J. Magn. Reson.
