High-Contrast Lumbar Spinal Bone Imaging Using a 3D Slab-Selective UTE Sequence.
Article in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Ultra-short echo time (UTE) MRI with post-processing is a promising technique in bone imaging that produces a similar contrast to computed tomography (CT). Here, we propose a 3D slab-selective ultrashort echo time (UTE) sequence together with image post-processing to image bone structures in the lumbar spine. We also explore the intermodality agreement between the UTE and CT images. The lumbar spines of two healthy volunteers were imaged with 3D UTE using five different resolutions to determine the best imaging protocol. Then, four patients with low back pain were imaged with both the 3D UTE sequence and CT to investigate agreement between the imaging methods. Two other patients with low back pain were then imaged with the 3D UTE sequence and clinical conventional T
