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

We propose to synthesize patient-specific 4D flow MRI datasets of turbulent flow paired with ground truth flow data to support training of inference methods. Turbulent blood flow is computed based on the Navier-Stokes equations with moving domains using realistic boundary conditions for aortic shapes, wall displacements and inlet velocities obtained from patient data. From the simulated flow, synthetic multipoint 4D flow MRI data is generated with user-defined spatiotemporal resolutions and reconstructed with a Bayesian approach to compute time-varying velocity and turbulence maps. For MRI data synthesis, a fixed hypothetical scan time budget is assumed and accordingly, changes to spatial resolution and time averaging result in corresponding scaling of signal-to-noise ratios (SNR). In this work, we focused on aortic stenotic flow and quantification of turbulent kinetic energy (TKE). Our results show that for spatial resolutions of 1.5 and 2.5 mm and time averaging of 5 ms as encountered in 4D flow MRI in practice, peak total turbulent kinetic energy downstream of a 50, 75 and 90% stenosis is overestimated by as much as 23, 15 and 14% (1.5 mm) and 38, 24 and 23% (2.5 mm), demonstrating the importance of paired ground truth and 4D flow MRI data for assessing accuracy and precision of turbulent flow inference using 4D flow MRI exams.
