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

objectivesTo compare the visibility of intracranial aneurysm wall and thickness quantification between 7 and 3 T vessel wall imaging and evaluate the association between aneurysm size and wall thickness.

methodsTwenty-nine patients with 29 unruptured intracranial aneurysms were prospectively recruited for 3D T1-weighted vessel wall MRI at both 3 T and 7 T with 0.53 mm (3 T) and 0.4 mm (7 T) isotropic resolution, respectively. Two neuroradiologists independently evaluated wall visibility (0-5 Likert scale), quantified the apparent wall thickness (AWT) using a semi-automated full-width-half-maximum method, calculated wall sharpness, and measured the wall-to-lumen contrast ratio (CR

resultsTwenty-four patients with 24 aneurysms were included in this study. 7 T achieved significantly better aneurysm wall visibility than 3 T (3.6 ± 1.1 vs 2.7 ± 0.8, p = 0.003). AWT measured on 3 T and 7 T had a good correlation (averaged r = 0.63 ± 0.19). However, AWT on 3 T was 15% thicker than that on 7 T (0.52 ± 0.07 mm vs 0.45 ± 0.05 mm, p < 0.001). Wall sharpness on 7 T was 57% higher than that on 3 T (1.95 ± 0.32 mm

conclusions7 T provides better visualization of intracranial aneurysm wall with higher sharpness than 3 T. 3 T overestimates the wall thickness relative to 7 T. Aneurysm wall thickness is positively correlated with aneurysm size. 7 T MRI is a promising tool to evaluate aneurysm wall in vivo. KEY POINTS: • 7 T provides better visualization of intracranial aneurysm wall with higher sharpness than 3 T. • 3 T overestimates the wall thickness comparing with 7 T. • Aneurysm wall thickness is positively correlated with aneurysm size.
