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

purposeThis study proposes and assesses a new diffusion MRI (dMRI) technique to solve problems related to the quantification of parameter maps (apparent diffusion coefficient [ADC] or mean diffusivity [MD], fractional anisotropy [FA]) and misdrawing of fiber tractography (FT) due to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-partial volume effects (PVEs) for brain tissues by combining with the T2-based water suppression (T2wsup) technique.

methodsT2wsup-diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) images were obtained by subtracting those images from the acquired multi-b value (b) DWI images after correcting the signal intensities of multiecho time (TE) images using long TE water signal-dominant images. Quantitative parameter maps and FT were obtained from minimum data points and were compared with those using the standard (without wsup) DWI method, and partly compared with those obtained using other alternative DWI methods of applying fluid attenuation inversion recovery (FLAIR), non-b-zero (NBZ) by theoretical or noise-added simulation and MR images.

resultsIn the T2wsup-dMRI method, the hyperintense artifacts due to CSF-PVEs in MRI data were dramatically suppressed even at lower b (≲ 500 s/mm

conclusionSolving the problem of CSF-PVE in the current dMRI technique using our proposed T2wsup-dMRI technique is easy, with higher SNR than those obtained with FLAIR or NBZ methods when applying to healthy brain tissues. The proposed T2wsup-dMRI could be useful in clinical settings, although further optimization of the pulse sequence and processing techniques and clinical assessments are required, particularly for long T2 lesions.
