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

purposeMRI has become an essential diagnostic imaging modality for peripheral nerve pathology. Early MR imaging for peripheral nerve depended on inferred nerve involvement by visualizing downstream effects such as denervation muscular atrophy; improvements in MRI technology have made possible direct visualization of the nerves. In this paper, we share our early clinical experience with 7T for benign neurogenic tumors. MATERIALS: Patients with benign neurogenic tumors and 7T MRI examinations available were reviewed. Cases of individual benign peripheral nerve tumors were included to demonstrate 7T MRI imaging characteristics. All exams were performed on a 7T MRI MAGNETOM Terra using a 28-channel receive, single-channel transmit knee coil.

resultsFive cases of four pathologies were selected from 38 patients to depict characteristic imaging features in different benign nerve tumors and lesions using 7T MRI.

conclusionThe primary advantage of 7T over 3T is an increase in signal-to-noise ratio which allows higher in plane resolution so that the smallest neural structures can be seen and characterized. This improvement in MR imaging provides the opportunity for more accurate diagnosis and surgical planning in selected cases. As this technology continues to evolve for clinical purposes, we anticipate increasing applications and improved patient care using 7T MRI for the diagnosis of peripheral nerve masses.
