Image Quality of Submillimeter High-Spatial-Resolution 2D Late Gadolinium-enhanced Images in Cardiac MRI: A Feasibility Study.

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.
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
Purpose: To evaluate the image quality of high-spatial-resolution two-dimensional (2D) late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiac MRI compared with conventional normal-resolution LGE MRI. Materials and Methods: This prospective study included participants suspected of having cardiomyopathy who underwent cardiac MRI between March 2021 and December 2021. Normal-resolution and high-resolution 2D LGE sequences (inversion recovery [IR] and phase-sensitive inversion recovery [PSIR]) were performed at 3 T. Resolution was compared between normal-resolution and high-resolution images obtained in a quality assurance phantom. In vivo image quality and resolution were evaluated qualitatively using a five-point scoring system. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used for LGE detection performance. Border sharpness was assessed with profile curve measurement. The contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) between hyperenhancement and remote myocardium and LGE detection performance were calculated using normal-resolution IR images as the reference. Results: In total, 120 participants were evaluated (mean age, 56 years ± 17 [SD]; 72 men). Features smaller than 1 mm were detectable only on high-resolution images of the phantom. In vivo, the image resolution score with high-resolution LGE was 4.14-4.24, which was higher than the normal-resolution LGE reference score of 2.99 ( Conclusion: Comparison of image quality in 2D high-resolution and normal-resolution LGE cardiac MRI demonstrated the highest resolution for high-resolution IR and high-resolution PSIR magnitude sequences.
