Detection of Spinal Cord Multiple Sclerosis Lesions Using a 3D-PSIR Sequence at 1.5 T.
Article in Clinical neuroradiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeMultiple sclerosis (MS) is a prevalent autoimmune inflammatory disease. Besides cerebral manifestations, an affection of the spinal cord is typical; however, imaging of the spinal cord is difficult due to its anatomy. The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic value of a 3D PSIR pulse sequencing at a 1.5 T magnetic field strength for both the cervical and thoracic spinal cord.
methodsPhase sensitive inversion recovery (PSIR), short tau inversion recovery (STIR) and T
resultsOf the lesions 54.81% were located in the cervical spinal cord, 42.26% in the thoracic spinal cord and 2.93% in the conus medullaris. The PSIR images showed a higher sensitivity for lesion detection in the cervical and thoracic spinal cord (77.10% and 72.61%, respectively) compared to the STIR images (58.63% and 59.10%, respectively) and the T
conclusionEvaluation of the spinal cord with a 3D PSIR sequence at a magnetic field strength of 1.5 T is feasible with a high sensitivity for the detection of spinal MS lesions for the cervical as well as the thoracic segments. In combination with other pulse sequences it might become a valuable addition in an advanced imaging protocol.
