Detection of the disease activity with ankylosing spondylitis through intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted MR imaging of sacroiliac joint.
Article in The British journal of radiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveTo explore the value of the quantitative parameter of intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion (IVIM-DWI) at 3.0 T MRI of the sacroiliac joint in differentiating different disease activity statuses of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and to compare it with traditional diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and Spondyloarthritis Research Consortium of Canada (SPARCC) score.
methods56 AS patients (active group, inactive group) and 24 healthy controls were included. Clinical data, quantitative parameters of IVIM-DWI MR images and the SPARCC scores were collected. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to compare the differences between the groups. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis of histogram data and the SPARCC scores identified the efficacy of the three groups. The Spearman correlation coefficients were used to analyse the correlation between the quantitative IVIIM-DWI parameters and the SPARCC score.
resultsThe f (10th percentile) and SPARCC score of the active group were significantly higher than those of the inactive group. The f (10th, 25th, 50th percentiles), D
conclusionsQuantitative IVIIM-DWI parameters are helpful for the identification of different AS disease activity levels and are superior to traditional DWI. IVIM-DWI quantitative parameters had a good correlation with the SPARCC score. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: A new MR technology-quantitative parameters of IVIM-DWI contribute to the identification of AS disease activity. IVIM-DWI quantitative parameters were well correlated with the SPARCC score.
