Repeatability and reproducibility of human brain morphometry using three-dimensional magnetic resonance fingerprinting.
Article in Human brain mapping, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Three-dimensional (3D) Magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) permits whole-brain volumetric quantification of T1 and T2 relaxation values, potentially replacing conventional T1-weighted structural imaging for common brain imaging analysis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the repeatability and reproducibility of 3D MRF in evaluating brain cortical thickness and subcortical volumetric analysis in healthy volunteers using conventional 3D T1-weighted images as a reference standard. Scan-rescan tests of both 3D MRF and conventional 3D fast spoiled gradient recalled echo (FSPGR) were performed. For each sequence, the regional cortical thickness and volume of the subcortical structures were measured using standard automatic brain segmentation software. Repeatability and reproducibility were assessed using the within-subject coefficient of variation (wCV), intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), and mean percent difference and ICC, respectively. The wCV and ICC of cortical thickness were similar across all regions with both 3D MRF and FSPGR. The percent relative difference in cortical thickness between 3D MRF and FSPGR across all regions was 8.0 ± 3.2%. The wCV and ICC of the volume of subcortical structures across all structures were similar between 3D MRF and FSPGR. The percent relative difference in the volume of subcortical structures between 3D MRF and FSPGR across all structures was 7.1 ± 3.6%. 3D MRF measurements of human brain cortical thickness and subcortical volumes are highly repeatable, and consistent with measurements taken on conventional 3D T1-weighted images. A slight, consistent bias was evident between the two, and thus careful attention is required when combining data from MRF and conventional acquisitions.
