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

We present a novel, cost-efficient methodology to simulate aortic haemodynamics in a patient-specific, compliant aorta using an MRI data fusion process. Based on a previously-developed Moving Boundary Method, this technique circumvents the high computational cost and numerous structural modelling assumptions required by traditional Fluid-Structure Interaction techniques. Without the need for Computed Tomography (CT) data, the MRI images required to construct the simulation can be obtained during a single imaging session. Black Blood MR Angiography and 2D Cine-MRI data were used to reconstruct the luminal geometry and calibrate wall movement specifically to each region of the aorta. 4D-Flow MRI and non-invasive pressure measurements informed patient-specific inlet and outlet boundary conditions. Luminal area closely matched 2D Cine-MRI measurements with a mean error of less than 4.6% across the cardiac cycle, while physiological pressure and flow distributions were simulated to within 3.3% of patient-specific targets. Moderate agreement with 4D-Flow MRI velocity data was observed. Despite lower peak velocity, an equivalent rigid-wall simulation predicted a mean Time-Averaged Wall Shear Stress (TAWSS) 13% higher than the compliant simulation. The agreement observed between compliant simulation results and MRI data is testament to the accuracy and efficiency of this MRI-based simulation technique.
