The present and the future of microstructure MRI: From a paradigm shift to normal science.
Review in Journal of neuroscience methods, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 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
The aspiration of imaging tissue microstructure with MRI is to uncover micrometer-scale tissue features within millimeter-scale imaging voxels, in vivo. This kind of super-resolution has fueled a paradigm shift within the biomedical imaging community. However, what feels like an ongoing revolution in MRI, has been conceptually experienced in physics decades ago; from this point of view, our current developments can be seen as Thomas Kuhn's "normal science" stage of progress. While the concept of model-based quantification below the nominal imaging resolution is not new, its possibilities in neuroscience and neuroradiology are only beginning to be widely appreciated. This disconnect calls for communicating the progress of tissue microstructure MR imaging to its potential users. Here, a number of recent research developments are outlined in terms of the overarching concept of coarse-graining the tissue structure over an increasing diffusion length. A variety of diffusion models and phenomena are summarized on the phase diagram of diffusion MRI, with the unresolved problems and future directions corresponding to its unexplored domains.
