Diffusion Tensor Imaging of a Median Nerve by Magnetic Resonance: A Pilot Study.
Article in Life (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The magnetic resonance Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) is a powerful extension of Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) utilizing multiple bipolar gradients, allowing for the evaluation of the microstructural environment of the highly anisotropic tissues. DTI was predominantly used for the assessment of the central nervous system (CNS), but with the advancement in magnetic resonance (MR) hardware and software, it has now become possible to image the peripheral nerves which were difficult to evaluate previously because of their small caliber. This study focuses on the assessment of the human median peripheral nerve ex vivo by DTI microscopy at 9.4 T magnetic field which allowed the evaluation of diffusion eigenvalues, the mean diffusivity and the fractional anisotropy at 35 μm in-plane resolution. The resolution was sufficient for clear depiction of all nerve anatomical structures and therefore further image analysis allowed the obtaining of average values for DT parameters in nerve fascicles (intrafascicular region and perineurium) as well as in the surrounding epineurium. The results confirmed the highest fractional anisotropy of 0.33 and principal diffusion eigenvalue of 1.0 × 10
