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

purposeA prospective study was conducted to evaluate signal changes in the dentate nucleus, globus pallidus, pons, and thalamus (normalized to the deep cerebellum white matter) in T1-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) images after serial injections of gadobutrol in patients with thalassemia without neurological lesions.

methodsIn this study three groups were scanned at both 1.5 T and 3 T: 15 thalassemia patients transfused and chelated with ≥4 gadobutrol administrations at a high dose (0.2 mmol/kg per scan) for late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiovascular MR, 8 thalassemia patients and 13 healthy subjects who had never received gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCA).

resultsSignal intensity (SI) ratios at 1.5 T in all regions were comparable among the three groups and were not correlated with the number of gadobutrol administrations. In healthy subjects SI ratios were significantly different among the 4 regions, being higher in the pallidus. The SI ratios at 1.5 T were significantly higher and not correlated with SI ratios at 3 T or with iron overload in the same regions assessed by the T2* technique.

conclusionThis article describes the lack of increased SI in T1-weighted MR images after repeated administration of gadobutrol for cardiovascular MR studies in a high-risk population (high dose per scan, iron overload that can facilitate the transmetalation of gadolinium) scanned at 3 T and 1.5 T.
