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

To investigate the application value of magnetic resonance diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) in hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD) in newborn piglets and to compare imaging and pathological results. Of 36 piglets investigated, 18 were in the experimental group and 18 in the control group. The HIBD model was established in newborn piglets by ligating the bilateral common carotid arteries and placing them into hypoxic chamber. All piglets underwent conventional MRI and DKI scans at 3, 6, 9, 12, 16, and 24 h postoperatively. Mean kurtosis (MK) and mean diffusivity (MD) maps were constructed. Then, the lesions were examined using light and electron microscopy and compared with DKI images. The MD value of the lesion area gradually decreased and the MK value gradually increased in the experimental group with time. The lesion areas gradually expanded with time; MK lesions were smaller than MD lesions. Light microscopy revealed neuronal swelling in the MK- and MD-matched and mismatched regions. Electron microscopy demonstrated obvious mitochondrial swelling and autophagosomes in the MK- and MD-matched region but normal mitochondrial morphology or mild swelling in the mismatched region. DKI can accurately evaluate early ischemic-hypoxic brain injury in newborn piglets.
