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

introductionWe aimed to investigate the utility of compressed sensing time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography (CS TOF-MRA) for diagnosing intracranial and cervical arterial stenosis by using digital subtraction angiography (DSA) as the reference standard.

methodsThirty-seven patients with head and neck arterial stenoses who underwent CS TOF-MRA and DSA were retrospectively enrolled. The reconstructed resolution of CS TOF-MRA was 0.4 × 0.4 × 0.4 mm

resultsThe image quality of most arterial segments (95.2%) on CS TOF-MRA was excellent. Arterial segments with low image quality were mainly the V3-4 segments of the vertebral artery. The majority of arterial stenoses (62.3%) were located in the cervical internal carotid artery. The luminal stenosis grades of CS TOF-MRA were concordant with that of DSA in 50 of 61 segments (p = 0.366). CS TOF-MRA had a sensitivity of 84.4% and a specificity of 88.5% for predicting moderate to severe stenosis. For detecting occlusion lesions, it had a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 94.1%.

conclusionCS TOF-MRA provides adequate image quality within a reasonable acquisition time and is a reliable tool for diagnosing head and neck arterial steno-occlusive disease. KEY POINTS: • CS TOF-MRA provides a relatively large coverage (16 cm), high resolution (0.4 × 0.4 × 0.4 mm
