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

purposeNon-contrast-enhanced (CE) magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) techniques are of considerable interest for diagnosing vascular diseases in the upper extremities owing to the possibility of repeated examinations, sufficient coverage of the measurement volume, and because possible side effects of administering iodine- or gadolinium-based contrast agents and radiation exposure can be avoided. The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of an optimized electrocardiogram (ECG) triggered Cartesian quiescent interval slice selective (QISS) technique for MRA of hand arteries. MATERIAL AND

methodsBoth hands of 20 healthy volunteers (HVs) were examined using an optimized QISS-MRA pulse sequence at 1.5 Tesla. The wrist and hand arterial trees were divided into 36 segments. Cross-sectional areas (CSA) of all arterial segments were measured. For the technical evaluation of the pulse sequence, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) were computed and six imaging artifacts were graded. Two experienced observers used an ordinal scoring system to assess the image quality of each arterial segment. Interobserver agreement was determined.

resultsThe median CSA was 7.3 mm

conclusionsBy using this optimized 2D Cartesian QISS-MRA protocol, contrast agent-free angiography of the wrist and hand arteries provided a high in-plane spatial resolution and an excellent visualization of small digital arteries.
