1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeThe goal of this study was to determine the accuracy of displacement-encoding with stimulated echoes (DENSE) MRI in a tissue motion phantom with displacements representative of those observed in human brain tissue.

methodsThe phantom was comprised of a plastic shaft rotated at a constant speed. The rotational motion was converted to a vertical displacement through a camshaft. The phantom generated repeatable cyclical displacement waveforms with a peak displacement ranging from 92 µm to 1.04 mm at 1-Hz frequency. The surface displacement of the tissue was obtained using a laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV) before and after the DENSE MRI scans to check for repeatability. The accuracy of DENSE MRI displacement was assessed by comparing the laser Doppler vibrometer and DENSE MRI waveforms.

resultsLaser Doppler vibrometer measurements of the tissue motion demonstrated excellent cycle-to-cycle repeatability with a maximum root mean square error of 9 µm between the ensemble-averaged displacement waveform and the individual waveforms over 180 cycles. The maximum difference between DENSE MRI and the laser Doppler vibrometer waveforms ranged from 15 to 50 µm. Additionally, the peak-to-peak difference between the 2 waveforms ranged from 1 to 18 µm.

conclusionUsing a tissue phantom undergoing cyclical motion, we demonstrated the percent accuracy of DENSE MRI to measure displacement similar to that observed for in vivo cardiac-induced brain tissue.
