Multisequence Quantitative Magnetic Resonance Neurography of Brachial and Lumbosacral Plexus in Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy.
Article in Frontiers in neuroscience, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
background and purposeChronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is an uncommon demyelinating disorder. Although treatable, it is difficult to diagnose. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance and abnormalities of plexus via quantitative multisequence magnetic resonance neurography (MRN) for CIDP.
methodsBrachial and lumbosacral (LS) plexus of 37 CIDP patients and 37 age- and gender-matched controls were examined by using multisequence MRN. Nerve diameter, nerve-to-muscle T2 signal intensity ratio (nT2), contrast-enhanced ratio (CR), fractional anisotropy (FA), and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) were determined in both plexus, and tractographies were performed. The disease histories and the Inflammatory Rasch-built Overall Disability Scale (I-RODS) questionnaire scores were documented before MRI scans.
resultsThe sizes of nerve roots were larger in CIDP (
conclusionMultisequence MRN possesses a high diagnostic performance in the LS plexus. Sampling perfection with application-optimized contrasts using different flip angle evolutions (SPACE) combined with DTI and contrast enhancement serves as a recommended composite protocol for CIDP.
