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

MRI has been an essential diagnostic tool in healthcare for several decades. It offers unique insights into most tissues without the need for ionising radiation. Historically, MRI has been predominantly used qualitatively, images are formed to allow visual discrimination of tissues types and pathologies, rather than providing quantitative measurements. Increasingly, quantitative MRI (qMRI) is also finding clinical application, where images provide the basis for physical measurements of,
