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 Elastography allows noninvasive visualization of tissue mechanical properties by measuring the displacements resulting from applied stresses, and fitting a mechanical model. Poroelasticity naturally lends itself to describing tissue - a biphasic medium, consisting of both solid and fluid components. This article reviews the theory of poroelasticity, and shows that the spatial distribution of hydraulic permeability, the ease with which the solid matrix permits the flow of fluid under a pressure gradient, can be faithfully reconstructed without spatial priors in simulated environments. The paper describes an in-house MRE computational platform - a multi-mesh, finite element poroelastic solver coupled to an artificial epistemic agent capable of running Bayesian inference to reconstruct inhomogenous model mechanical property images from measured displacement fields. Building on prior work, the domain of convergence for inference is explored, showing that hydraulic permeabilities over several orders of magnitude can be reconstructed given very little prior knowledge of the true spatial distribution.
