Evaluating Reproducibility of the ADC and Distortion in Diffusion-weighted Imaging (DWI) with Reverse Encoding Distortion Correction (RDC).

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 compare image distortion and reproducibility of quantitative values between reverse encoding distortion correction (RDC) diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and conventional DWI techniques in a phantom study and in healthy volunteers.
methodsThis prospective study was conducted with the approval of our institutional review board. Written informed consent was obtained from each participant. RDC-DWIs were created from images obtained at 3T in three orthogonal directions in a phantom and in 10 participants (mean age, 70.9 years; age range, 63-83 years). Images without distortion correction (noDC-DWI) and those corrected with B0 (B0c-DWI) were also created. To evaluate distortion, coefficients of variation were calculated for each voxel and ROIs were placed at four levels of the brain. To evaluate the reproducibility of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurements, intra- and inter-scan variability (%CV
resultsIn the phantom, distortion was less in RDC-DWI than in B0c-DWI (P < 0.006), and was less in B0c-DWI than in noDC-DWI (P < 0.006). Intra-scan %CV
conclusionIn both the phantom and in volunteers, distortion was the least in RDC-DWI than in B0c-DWI and noDC-DWI.
