Volume electron microscopy in injured rat brain validates white matter microstructure metrics from diffusion MRI.
Article in ArXiv, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Biophysical modeling of diffusion MRI (dMRI) offers the exciting potential of bridging the gap between the macroscopic MRI resolution and microscopic cellular features, effectively turning the MRI scanner into a noninvasive in vivo microscope. In brain white matter, the Standard Model (SM) interprets the dMRI signal in terms of axon dispersion, intra- and extra-axonal water fractions and diffusivities. However, for SM to be fully applicable and correctly interpreted, it needs to be carefully evaluated using histology. Here, we perform a comprehensive histological validation of the SM parameters, by characterizing WM microstructure in sham and injured rat brains using volume (3d) electron microscopy (EM) and ex vivo dMRI. Sensitivity is evaluated by how close each SM metric is to its histological counterpart, and specificity by how independent it is from other, non-corresponding histological features. This comparison reveals that SM is sensitive and specific to microscopic properties, clearing the way for the clinical adoption of in vivo dMRI derived SM parameters as biomarkers for neurological disorders.
