Higher b-values improve the correlation between diffusion MRI and the cortical microarchitecture.
Article in Neuroradiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeIn diffusion MRI (dMRI), it remains unclear to know how much increase of b-value is conveying additional biological meaning. We tested the correlations between cortical microarchitecture and diffusion metrics computed from standard (1000 s/mm
methodsHealthy volunteers were scanned with a dMRI pulse sequence that was first optimized together with a T1-WI and T2-WI. Averaged cortical surface map of estimated myelin (T1-WI/T2-WI) was compared with surface maps of mean diffusivity (MD) computed from each b-value (MD
resultsSurface map from MD
conclusionHigher b-values are more closely related to subtle cellular variations of the cortical microarchitecture.
