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

backgroundThe aim of this single-center combined prospective/retrospective cohort study was to analyze Gadolinium (Gd)-enhanced MRA (magnetic resonance angiography) and MRV (MR venography) for the diagnosis of pulmonary artery embolism and deep venous thrombosis. The gold standard methods result in major exposure to radiation and a high amount of nephrotoxic iodinated contrast media. This is the first larger contrast-enhanced MR imaging study of acute and chronic venous thromboembolic disease of various stages.

methodsWe prospectively examined 88 patients presenting clinical signs of deep vein thrombosis and/or pulmonary artery embolism. A single-session, one-stop shop Gd-enhanced MRA/MRV at 1.5 Tesla, using gradient echo sequences with very short repetition and echo times as well as low flip angles with subtraction and three-dimensional reconstruction, was performed. A diagnosis was made with the consensus of two experienced radiologists.

resultsWe observed excellent MRA image quality in 87% and even higher diagnostic image quality of MRV in 90% of our examinations. Pulmonary artery embolism occurred with deep vein thrombosis in 22%.

conclusionsGd-enhanced MRA/MRV provided excellent image quality for the diagnosis of venous thromboembolic disease in the majority of cases. It may be particularly useful to plan and follow-up filter implantation and retrieval in the inferior caval vein.
