Four-dimensional Virtual Catheter: Noninvasive Assessment of Intra-aortic Hemodynamics in Bicuspid Aortic Valve Disease.
Article in Radiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
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.
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
Background Four-dimensional (4D) flow MRI enables the evaluation of blood flow alterations in patients with congenital bicuspid aortic valve (BAV). However, current analysis methods are cumbersome and lack the use of the volumetric data from 4D MRI. Purpose To investigate the feasibility and reproducibility of a technique that uses a catheter-like mathematical model (virtual catheter) to assess volumetric intra-aortic hemodynamics from 4D flow MRI in patients with BAV. Materials and Methods In this retrospective study, data were collected from adult patients with BAV and healthy participants who underwent aortic 4D flow MRI from November 2011 through August 2014. Reproducibility was tested in healthy study participants who underwent test-retest examinations within 2 weeks. Patients were grouped on the basis of the severity of aortic valve regurgitation (AVR) and aortic valve stenosis (AVS). A 4D virtual catheter mathematical model for probing intra-aortic hemodynamic flow was constructed as a tube with an automatically derived radius along the entire thoracic aorta centerline. Volumetric intra-aortic hemodynamics were computed from 4D flow MRI only within the virtual catheter, and the following volume-normalized systolic peaks were derived: kinetic energy (KE), viscous energy loss rate (VELR), and vorticity. Hemodynamic data were presented as medians with interquartile ranges and compared by using Mann-Whitney
