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

backgroundThis study sought to explore the functional relationship between displayed vascular length and blood suppression inversion time (BSP TI) and flow velocity in a phantom, and to provide a theoretical basis for quantitatively assessing vascular hemodynamic responses using unenhanced magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and spatial labeling with multiple inversion pulses sequence (SLEEK).

methodsA polyethylene catheter was laid in a long rectangular container filled with pork fat. The entrance of the catheter into the container was connected to a high-pressure syringe filled with normal saline. The high-pressure injector flow rates were set at 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8, 1.2, 1.6, 2.0, and 2.4 mL/s. SLEEK was performed 19 times for each flow rate with parameter BSP TI values of 50, 75, 100, 150, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1,000, 1,100, 1,200, 1,300, 1,400, 1,600, and 1,800 ms. Maximum intensity projection was employed to reconstruct all SLEEK original images to determine the measurements of the displayed vascular lengths. A regression analysis was undertaken to assess the relationship between the displayed vascular lengths and BSP TI values for each flow rate, and to assess the relationship between the displayed vascular lengths and flow rates at each BSP TI.

resultsThe displayed vascular length had a linear relationship with BSP TI for each flow rate (P<0.05) (R2=0.754, 0.941, 0.988, 0.988, 0.977, 0.966, and 0.982 for flow rates of 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8, 1.2, 1.6, and 2.0 mL/s, respectively). The displayed vascular length also had a linear relationship with flow rate for each BSP TI value (P<0.05) (R2 =0.914, 0.912, 0.834, 0.989, 0.980, 0.996, 0.992, 0.960, 0.975, 0.979, 0.982, 0.981, 0.976, and 0.993 for BSP TI 50, 75, 100, 150, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1,000, and 1,100 ms, respectively). No significant linear relationship was found between displayed vascular length and flow rate when the BSP TI value was 1,200 ms (P>0.05).

conclusionsVascular displayed length has a linear relationship to BSP TI for flow ranges from 0.0 to 2.0 mL/s. Vascular displayed length has a linear relationship to flow rate for BSP TI values of 50 to 1,100 ms. Flow rate can be assessed in relation to vascular displayed length.
