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

background and purposeNoninvasive perfusion-weighted imaging with short scanning time could be advantageous in order to determine presumed penumbral regions and subsequent treatment strategy for acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Our aim was to evaluate interobserver agreement and the clinical utility of intravoxel incoherent motion MR imaging in patients with acute ischemic stroke. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe retrospectively studied 29 patients with AIS (17 men, 12 women; mean age, 75.2 [SD, 12.0 ] years; median, 77 years). Each patient underwent intravoxel incoherent motion MR imaging using a 1.5T MR imaging scanner. Diffusion-sensitizing gradients were applied sequentially in the x, y, and z directions with 6 different b-values (0, 50, 100, 150, 200, and 1000 seconds/mm

resultsInterobserver agreement was shown for the intravoxel incoherent motion perfusion fraction (κ = 0.854) and pseudodiffusion coefficient (κ = 0.789) maps, which indicated almost perfect and substantial agreement, respectively. Patients with a nondecreased intravoxel incoherent motion perfusion fraction tended to show recanalization of the occluded intracranial arteries more frequently than patients with a decreased intravoxel incoherent motion perfusion fraction.

conclusionsIntravoxel incoherent motion MR imaging could be performed in < 1 minute in addition to routine DWI. Intravoxel incoherent motion parameters noninvasively provide feasible, qualitative perfusion-related information for assessing patients with acute ischemic stroke.
