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

This commentary serves as an introduction to the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique called diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) employed in the study by Arab et al. in the present issue of Neurotoxicology Research. In their study, DKI is employed for longitudinal investigation of a methamphetamine intoxication model of Parkinson's disease. The study employs an impressive number of animals and combines DKI with behavioral analysis at multiple time points. The commentary discusses some aspects of the study design especially the strength of combining behavioral analysis with MRI in an effort to provide as thorough a characterization and validity assessment of the animal model and cohort as possible. The potential clinical value of combining multiple MRI techniques (multimodal MRI) in PD is discussed as well as the benefit of multimodal MRI combined with behavioral analysis and subsequent histological analysis for in-depth characterization of animal models.
