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

Magnetic resonance neurography (MRN), the MR imaging of peripheral nerves, is clinically used for assessing and monitoring peripheral neuropathies based on qualitative, weighted MR imaging. Recently, quantitative MRN has been increasingly reported with various MR parameters as potential biomarkers. An evidence synthesis mapping the available methodologies and normative values of quantitative MRN of human peripheral nerves, independent of the anatomical location and type of neuropathy, is currently unavailable and would likely benefit this young field of research. Therefore, the proposed scoping review will include peer-reviewed literature describing methodologies and normative values of quantitative MRN of human peripheral nerves. The literature search will include the databases MEDLINE (PubMed), EMBASE (Ovid), Web of Science, and Scopus. At least two independent reviewers will screen the titles and abstracts against the inclusion criteria. Potential studies will then be screened in full against the inclusion criteria by two or more independent reviewers. From all eligible studies, data will be extracted by two or more independent reviewers and presented in a diagrammatic or tabular form, separated by MR parameter and accompanied by a narrative summary. The reporting will follow the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). Upon completion, the scoping review will provide a map of the available literature, identify possible gaps, and inform on possible future research.
