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

purposeTo develop a 3D downfield (DF) MRSI protocol with whole brain coverage and post-processing pipeline for creation of metabolite maps.

methodsA 3D, circularly phase-encoded version of the previously developed 2D DF MRSI sequence with

resultsLCModel analysis showed Cramer Rao lower bounds average values of 3%-4% for protein amide resonances in the three selected regions (anterior cingulate, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, and centrum semiovale); Cramer Rao lower bounds were somewhat higher for individual peaks but for the most part were less than 20%. While DF concentration maps were visually quite homogeneous throughout the brain, general linear regression analysis corrected for multiple comparisons found significant differences between centrum semiovale and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex for peaks at 7.09 ppm (p = 0.014), 7.90 ppm (p = 0.009), 8.18 ppm (p = 0.009), combined amides (p = 0.009), and between anterior cingulate and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex for the 7.30 ppm peak (p = 0.020). Cramer Rao lower bounds values were not significantly different between brain regions for any of the DF peaks.

conclusionThe 3D DF MRSI of the human brain at 3T with wide spatial coverage for the mapping of exchangeable amide and other resonances is feasible at a nominal spatial resolution of 0.7 cm
