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

objectivesTo evaluate the feasibility of 0.2-mm isotropic lenticulostriate arteries (LSAs) imaging using compressed sensing time-of-flight (CS TOF) at around 10 min on 7T, and compare the delineation and characterization of LSAs using conventional TOF and CS TOF.

methodsThirty healthy volunteers were examined with CS TOF and conventional TOF at 7T for around 10 min each. CS TOF was optimized to achieve 0.2-mm isotropic LSA imaging. The numbers of LSA stems and branches were counted and compared on a vascular skeleton. The length and distance were measured and compared on the most prominent branch in each hemisphere. Another patient with intracranial artery stenosis was studied to compare LSA delineation in CS TOF and digital subtraction angiography (DSA).

resultsThe number of stems visualized with CS TOF was significantly higher than with conventional TOF in both left (p = 0.002, ICC = 0.884) and right (p < 0.001, ICC = 0.938) hemispheres. The number of branches visualized by conventional TOF was significantly lower than that by CS TOF in both left (p < 0.001, ICC = 0.893) and right (p < 0.001, ICC = 0.896) hemispheres. The lengths were statistically higher in CS TOF than in conventional TOF (left: p < 0.001, ICC = 0.868; right: p < 0.001, ICC = 0.876).

conclusionsThe high-resolution CS TOF improves the delineation and characterization of LSAs over conventional TOF. High-resolution LSA imaging using CS TOF can be a promising tool for clinical research and applications in patients with neurologic diseases. KEY POINTS: • 0.2-mm isotropic LSA imaging for around 10 min using CS TOF at 7T is feasible. • More stems and branches of LSAs with longer lengths can be delineated with CS TOF than with conventional TOF at the same scan time. • High-resolution CS TOF can be a promising tool for research and applications on LSA.
