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

Magnetic resonance elastography is a relatively new, rapidly evolving quantitative magnetic resonance imaging technique which can be used for mapping the viscoelastic mechanical properties of soft tissues. MR elastography measurements are akin to manual palpation but with the advantages of both being quantitative and being useful for regions which are not available for palpation, such as the human brain. MR elastography is noninvasive, well tolerated, and complements standard radiological and histopathological studies by providing in vivo measurements that reflect tissue microstructural integrity. While brain MR elastography studies in adults are becoming frequent, published studies on the utility of MR elastography in children are sparse. In this review, we have summarized the major scientific principles and recent clinical applications of brain MR elastography in diagnostic neuroscience and discuss avenues for impact in assessing the pediatric brain.
