Time-dependent diffusion MRI using multiple stimulated echoes.
Article in Magnetic resonance in medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
purposeTo develop a time-efficient pulse sequence that acquires multiple diffusion-weighted images with distinct diffusion times in a single shot by using multiple stimulated echoes (mSTE) with variable flip angles (VFA).
methodsThe proposed diffusion-weighted mSTE with VFA (DW-mSTE-VFA) sequence begins with two 90° RF pulses that straddle a diffusion gradient lobe (G
resultsIn the phantom experiment, the mean ADC measured at different diffusion times using DW-mSTE-VFA were highly consistent (r = 0.999) with those from a commercial spin-echo diffusion-weighted EPI sequence. In the fruit and brain experiments, DW-mSTE-VFA exhibited similar diffusion-time dependence to a standard diffusion-weighted stimulated echo sequence. The ADC showed significant time dependence in the human brain (p = 0.003 in both white matter and gray matter) and prostate tissues (p = 0.003 in both peripheral zone and central gland).
conclusionDW-mSTE-VFA offers a time-efficient tool for investigating the diffusion-time dependency in diffusion MRI studies.
