3-T T2 mapping magnetic resonance imaging for biochemical assessment of normal and damaged glenoid cartilage: a prospective arthroscopy-controlled study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
This study evaluated the ability of T2 mapping to assess the glenoid cartilage using arthroscopy as the gold standard. Eighteen consecutive patients (mean age: 52.4 ± 14.72 years, including 12 men) with shoulder pain underwent T2 mapping at 3-T with subsequent shoulder arthroscopy. With correlation to cartilage-sensitive morphologic sequences regions-of-interest were placed in the corresponding T2 maps both in normal-appearing cartilage and focal cartilage lesions using a quadrant-wise approach. Inter-reader and intra-reader correlation coefficients (ICCs) between two independent radiologists as well as cut-off values with their sensitivities/specificities for the detection of cartilage damage were calculated. The mean T2 value for healthy cartilage was 23.0 ± 3 ms with significantly higher values in the superior quadrants compared to the inferior quadrants (p < 0.0001). In 5 patients with focal cartilage damage significantly higher T2 values of 44.7 ± 3.7 ms (P < 0.01) were observed. The maximum T2 value in normal cartilage (27.3 ms) was lower than the minimum value in damaged cartilage (40.8 ms) resulting in perfect sensitivities/specificities of 100% (95% confidence-interval 47.8-100.0) for all cut-off values between 27.3-40.8 ms. ICCs ranged between 0.63 and 0.99. In conclusion, T2 mapping can evaluate biochemical cartilage integrity and discriminates arthroscopy-proven healthy and damaged glenoid cartilage with high diagnostic performance.
