Feasibility of Cardiovascular Four-dimensional Flow MRI during Exercise in Healthy Participants.
Article in Radiology. Cardiothoracic imaging, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this 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.

Abstract
purposeTo explore the feasibility of using four-dimensional (4D) flow MRI to quantify blood flow and kinetic energy (KE) in the heart during strenuous exercise. MATERIALS AND
methodsFor this prospective study, cardiac 4D flow MRI was performed in 11 healthy young adult participants (eight men, three women; mean age, 26 years ± 1 [standard deviation]) at rest and during exercise with an MRI-compatible exercise stepper between March 2016 and July 2017. Flow was measured in the ascending aorta (AAo) and main pulmonary artery (MPA). KE was quantified in the left and right ventricle. Significant changes in flow and KE during exercise were identified by using
resultsNine participants successfully completed both rest and exercise imaging. Internal flow consistency analysis in systemic and pulmonary circulation showed average relative differences of 10% at rest and 16% during exercise. For flow measurements in the AAo and MPA, relative differences between observers never exceeded 6% in any vessel and showed excellent correlation, even during exercise. Relative differences were increased for KE, typically on the order of 30%, with poor interobserver correlation between measurements.
conclusionFour-dimensional flow MRI can quantify increases in flow in the AAo and MPA during strenuous exercise and is highly repeatable. KE had reduced repeatability because of suboptimal segmentation methods and requires further development before clinical implementation.
