MRI and MR angiography evaluation of pulsatile tinnitus: A focused, physiology-based protocol.
Article in Journal of neuroimaging : official journal of the American Society of Neuroimaging, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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 purposePulsatile tinnitus (PT) is the subjective sensation of a pulse-synchronous sound, most often due to a cerebrovascular etiology. PT can severely impact quality of life and may indicate a life-threatening process, yet a timely and accurate diagnosis can often lead to effective treatment. Clinical assessment with a history and physical examination can often suggest a diagnosis for PT, but is rarely definitive. Therefore, PT should be evaluated with a comprehensive and targeted radiographic imaging protocol. MR imaging provides a safe and effective means to evaluate PT. Specific MR sequences may be used to highlight different elements of cerebrovascular anatomy and physiology. However, routine MR evaluation of PT must comply with economic and practical constraints, while effectively capturing both common and rarer, life-threatening etiologies of PT.
methodsIn this state-of-the-art review, we describe our institutional MR protocol for evaluating PT.
resultsThis protocol includes the following dedicated sequences: time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography; arterial spin labeling; spoiled gradient recalled acquisition in the steady state; time-resolved imaging of contrast kinetics; diffusion weighted imaging, and 3-dimensional fluid-attenuated inversion recovery.
conclusionsWe describe the physiologic and clinical rationale for including each MR sequence in a comprehensive PT imaging protocol, and detail the role of MR within the broader evaluation of PT, from clinical presentation to treatment.
