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

purposeThe optimal temporal resolution for free-breathing dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (FBDCE-MRI) of the pancreas has not been determined. This study aimed to evaluate the appropriate temporal resolution to achieve good image quality and to perform pharmacokinetic analysis in FBDCE-MRI of the pancreas using golden-angle radial sparse parallel (GRASP).

methodsSixteen participants (53 ± 15 years, eight females) undergoing FBDCE-MRI were included in this prospective study. Images were retrospectively reconstructed at four temporal resolutions (1.8, 3.0, 4.8, and 7.8s). Two radiologists (5 years of experience) evaluated the image quality of each reconstructed image by assessing the visualization of the celiac artery (CEA), the common hepatic artery, the splenic artery, each area of the pancreas, and artifacts using a 5-point scale. Using Tissue-4D, pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated for each area in the reconstructed images at each temporal resolution for 16 examinations, excluding two with errors in the pharmacokinetic modeling analysis. Friedman and Bonferroni tests were used for analysis. A P value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

resultsDuring vascular assessment, only scores for the CEA at 7.8s were significantly lower than the other temporal resolutions. Scores of all pancreatic regions and artifacts were significantly lower at 1.8s than at 4.8s and 7.8s. In the pharmacokinetic analysis, all volume transfer coefficients (K

conclusionA temporal resolution of 3.0s is appropriate to achieve image quality and perform pharmacokinetic analysis in FBDCE-MRI of the pancreas using GRASP.
