Overcoming challenges of the human spinal cord tractography for routine clinical use: a review.
Review in Neuroradiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
The spinal cord (SC) is a dense network of billions of fibers in a small volume surrounded by bones that makes tractography difficult to perform. We aim to provide a review collecting all technical settings of SC tractography and propose the optimal set of parameters to perform a good SC tractography rendering. The MEDLINE database was searched for articles reporting "spinal cord" "tractography" in "humans". Studies were selected only when tractography rendering was displayed and MRI acquisition and tracking parameters detailed. From each study, clinical context, imaging acquisition settings, fiber tracking parameters, region of interest (ROI) design, and quality of the tractography rendering were extracted. Quality of tractography rendering was evaluated by several objective criteria proposed herein. According to the reported studies, to obtain a good tractography rendering, diffusion tensor imaging acquisition should be performed with 1.5 or 3 Tesla MRI, in the axial plane, with > 20 directions; b value: 1000 s mm
