Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography at 3T in a single breath-hold: comparative effectiveness between three-dimensional (3D) gradient- and spin-echo and two-dimensional (2D) thick-slab fast spin-echo acquisitions.
Article in Quantitative imaging in medicine and surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundTo compare the depiction conspicuity of three-dimensional (3D) magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) based on gradient- and spin-echo (GRASE) and two-dimensional (2D) thick-slab MRCP using fast spin-echo (FSE) in different segments of hepatic and pancreatic ducts at 3T.
methodsBoth 3D GRASE and 2D thick-slab FSE MRCP, with parameters adjusted under the constraints of specific absorption rate and scan time within single breath-hold, were performed for 95 subjects (M/F =49:46; age range, 25-75) at 3T. Conspicuity of eight ductal segments was graded by two experienced raters using a 4-point score. Situations where one technique is superior or inferior to the other were recorded.
results3D GRASE MRCP outperformed 2D thick-slab FSE MRCP in the common bile duct and common hepatic ducts (both with P<0.001), but compared inferiorly in the right hepatic ducts (P<0.001), right posterior hepatic ducts (P<0.005) and pancreatic duct distal (P<0.05). Performing both 3D and 2D MRCP would reduce the number of non-diagnostic readings in the left hepatic duct to 10 remaining (5.3%), compared with 31 (16.3%) or 21 (11.1%) out of 190 readings if using 3D GRASE or 2D thick-slab FSE alone, respectively.
conclusionsAlthough 3D GRASE MRCP is preferential to visualize the common bile duct and common hepatic duct within one single breath-hold, the complementary role of 2D thick-slab FSE MRCP in smaller hepatic and pancreatic ducts makes it a useful adjunct if performed additionally.
