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

backgroundThe prevalence of valvular aortic stenosis (AS) increases as the population ages. Echocardiographic measurements of peak jet velocity (V PURPOSE: To compare four-dimensional phase-contrast magnetic resonance (4D PC-MR), two-dimensional (2D) PC-MR, and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) for quantification of AS. STUDY TYPE: Prospective. POPULATION: Twenty patients with various degrees of AS (69.3 ± 5.0 years). FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCES: 4D PC-MR and 2D PC-MR at 3T. ASSESSMENT: We compared V STATISTICAL TESTS: Pearson's correlation, Bland-Altman analysis, paired t-test, and intraclass correlation coefficient.

results4D PC-MR measured higher V DATA

conclusion4D PC-MR improves the concordance between the different AS parameters and could serve as an additional imaging technique next to TTE. Future studies should address the potential value of 4D PC-MR in patients with discordant echocardiographic parameters. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 2 Technical Efficacy: Stage 2 J. Magn. Reson.
