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

backgroundEndolymphatic hydrops (EH) become visible in vertigo patients, particularly in those with Meniere's disease (MD), in vivo using gadolinium-enhanced MRI. However, the image quality is not satisfying after intravenous injection of gadolinium chelate (GdC), and occasional failure in GdC uptake has been noticed after traditional intratympanic injection. In the present report, targeted delivery of GdC and using a cost-effective MRI system to obtain high quality images of EH in only 8 min will be introduced.

methods39 MD patients were recruited in the study. First, 0.1 ml of 20-fold diluted gadolinium-diethylenetriamine acid (Gd-DTPA) was delivered onto the posterior upper part of the tympanic medial wall using a soft-tipped micro-irrigation catheter through an artificially perforated tympanic membrane. Inner ear MRI was performed 24 h after Gd-DTPA administration using a 3T MR machine and a 20-channel head/neck coil with an 8 min sequence of medium inversion time inversion recovery imaging with magnitude reconstruction (MIIRMR). The parameters were as follows: TR 16000 ms, TE 663 ms, inversion time 2700 ms, flip angle 180°, slices per slab 60.

resultsEfficient inner ear uptake of Gd-DTPA was detected 24 h after delivery and it created excellent contrast in the inner ear of all cases. High quality images demonstrating EH in the vestibule and cochlea were obtained.

conclusionTargeted delivery of minimum Gd-DTPA (0.1 ml, 20-fold dilution) onto the posterior upper portion of the tympanic medial wall and MRI with MIIRMR in a 3T machine and 20-channel head/neck coil are clinically practical to obtain high quality images displaying EH.
