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

Advances in brain imaging and computational methods have facilitated the creation of subject-specific computational brain models that aid researchers in investigating brain trauma using simulated impacts. The emergence of magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) as a non-invasive mechanical neuroimaging tool has enabled in vivo estimation of material properties at low-strain, harmonic loading. An open question in the field has been how this data can be integrated into computational models. The goals of this study were to use a novel MRI dataset acquired in human volunteers to generate models with subject-specific anatomy and material properties, and then to compare simulated brain deformations to subject-specific brain deformation data under non-injurious loading. Models of five subjects were simulated with linear viscoelastic (LVE) material properties estimated directly from MRE data. Model predictions were compared to experimental brain deformation acquired in the same subjects using tagged MRI. Outcomes from the models matched the spatial distribution and magnitude of the measured peak strain components as well as the 95
