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

Multi-parametric tissue characterisation is demonstrated using a 4-minute protocol based on diffusion trace acquisitions. Three diffusion regimes are covered simultaneously: pseudo-perfusion, Gaussian, and non-Gaussian diffusion. The clinical utility of this method for fast multi-parametric mapping for brain tumours is explored. A cohort of 17 brain tumour patients was measured on a 3T hybrid MR-PET scanner with a standard clinical MRI protocol, to which the proposed multi-parametric diffusion protocol was subsequently added. For comparison purposes, standard perfusion and a full diffusion kurtosis protocol were acquired. Simultaneous amino-acid (
