Ultra-high b value DWI in distinguishing fresh gray matter ischemic lesions from white matter ones: a comparative study with routine and high b value DWI.

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
backgroundFresh ischemic lesions (FILs) can occur in both the brain's gray matter (GM) and white matter (WM), with each location signifying a different prognosis for patients. This study aims to investigate the application of ultra-high b value diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in distinguishing FILs in these two areas via a comparative study with routine and high b value DWI.
methodsMultiple b value DWI (b=0, 500, 1,000, 2,000, 4,000, 6,000, 8,000, 10,000 s/mm
resultsIn the enrolled 34 patients, 145 FILs were identified, of which 42 involved the GM, 87 the WM, and 16 both the GM and WM. A total of 161 regions were delineated, 58 in the GM and 103 in the WM. The values of FILs in the WM on ADC
conclusionsUltra-high b value DWI is extremely sensitive to the slight diffusion difference between FILs in the GM and the WM. Its sensitivity parallels the increasing b value, indicating its clinical advantage in identifying the microstructure of FILs.
