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

The present preliminary study aims to characterize brain metastases (BM) using T1 and T2 maps generated from newer, rapid, synthetic MRI (MAGnetic resonance image Compilation; MAGiC) in a clinical setting. We acquired synthetic MRI data from 11 BM patients on a 3T scanner. A multiple-dynamic multiple-echo (MDME) sequence was used for data acquisition and synthetic image reconstruction, including post-processing. MDME is a multi-contrast sequence that enables absolute quantification of physical tissue properties, including T1 and T2, independent of the scanner settings. In total, 82 regions of interest (ROIs) were analyzed, which were obtained from both normal-appearing brain tissue and BM lesions. The mean values obtained from the 48 normal-appearing brain tissue regions and 34 ROIs of BM lesions (T1 and T2) were analyzed using standard statistical methods. The mean T1 and T2 values were 1143 ms and 78 ms, respectively, for normal-appearing gray matter, 701 ms and 64 ms for white matter, and 4206 ms and 390 ms for cerebrospinal fluid. For untreated BMs, the mean T1 and T2 values were 1868 ms and 100 ms, respectively, and 2211 ms and 114 ms for the treated group. The quantitative T1 and T2 values generated from synthetic MRI can characterize BM and normal-appearing brain tissues.
