Evaluation of simultaneous-multislice diffusion-weighted imaging of liver at 3.0 T with different breathing schemes.

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
purposeTo obtain the optimal simultaneous-multislice (SMS)-accelerated diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) of the liver at 3.0 T MRI by systematically estimating the repeatability of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and image quality of different breathing schemes in comparison to standard DWI (STD) and other SMS sequences.
methodsIn this institutional review board-approved prospective study, hepatic DWIs (b = 50, 300, 600 s/mm
resultsSMS-DWI reduced scan time significantly by comparison with corresponding STD-DWI (27 vs. 42 s for BH, 54 vs. 78 s for FB and 42 vs. 97 s for RT). In all DWIs, BH-SMS had the greatest intraobserver agreement (intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC): 0.920-0.944) and good interobserver agreement (ICC: 0.831-0.886) for ADC measurements, and had the best ADC repeatability (mean ADC absolute differences: 0.046-0.058 × 10
conclusionBH-SMS provides considerable scan time reduction with good image quality, sufficient SNR and highest ADC repeatability on 3.0 T MRI, which is thus recommended as the optimal hepatic DWI sequence for those subjects with adequate breath-holding capability.
