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

backroundSPACE (3D fast spin echo acquisition) sequences require long scan times for three-dimensional assessment of acute injury of the knee joint and are flawed due to geometric blurring. Their implementation into routine diagnostic imaging was not feasible until recently.

objectivesBy comparing conventional MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) sequences to 3D (three-dimensional) sequences, it was investigated whether the compressed sensing (CS) technique is inferior to the established 2D sequences with shorter examination times. MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 109 patients (age range 18-50 years) with knee injury were examined by MRI between April 2017 and May 2018. The inter- and intraobserver concordance of two blinded readers were assessed. Consensus was achieved in case of discrepancies. Descriptive analyses of absolute and relative frequency and distribution were tested by Fisher's exact test concerning differences between CS-SPACE and standard proton density fat suppressed imaging.

resultsInteroberserver concordance (IC) of conventional sequences before/after consensus amounted to 58.8/68.1% (medial meniscus, MM), 68.8/88.7% (lateral meniscus, LM) 88.9/97.2% (anterior cruciate ligament, ACL), 99/100% (posterior cruciate ligament, PCL), 88.9/97.2% (collateral ligament, CL) and chondral injury (CI) 1-2: 64.2%, CI-3: 77% and CI-4: 76%. The IC of CS-SPACE amounted before/after consensus of MM to 50.4/77%, LM 68.8/88%, ACL 89.9/94.5%, PCL 97.2/99.0%, CL 92.6/96.3%. IC of CI was evaluated without consensus and amounted to 65.1% (CI 1-2), 66% (CI 3) and 81.6% (CI 4).

conclusionsInjuries of ACL, PCL and CL have excellent IC between 3D and 2D sequences. Excellent IC could be found in CI grade 3 and 4 when using 2D sequences and CI grade 4 utilizing CS-SPACE. Our results indicate that CS-SPACE is useful in diagnosing acute knee injuries.
