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

Ex vivo diffusion imaging can be used to study healthy and pathological tissue microstructure in the rodent brain with high resolution, providing a link between in vivo MRI and ex vivo microscopy techniques. Major challenges for the successful acquisition of ex vivo diffusion imaging data however are changes in the relaxivity and diffusivity of brain tissue following perfusion fixation. In this study we address this question by examining the combined effects of tissue preparation factors that influence signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and consequently image quality, including fixative concentration, contrast agent concentration and tissue rehydration time. We present an optimization strategy combining these factors to manipulate the
