Improved 3D DESS MR neurography of the lumbosacral plexus with deep learning and geometric image combination reconstruction.
Article in Skeletal radiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
objectiveTo evaluate the impact of deep learning (DL) reconstruction in enhancing image quality and nerve conspicuity in LSP MRN using DESS sequences. Additionally, a geometric image combination (GIC) method to improve DESS signals' combination was proposed. MATERIALS AND
methodsAdult patients undergoing 3.0 Tesla LSP MRN with DESS were prospectively enrolled. The 3D DESS echoes were separately reconstructed with and without DL and DL-GIC combined reconstructions. In a subset of patients, 3D T2-weighted short tau inversion recovery (STIR-T
resultsForty patients (22 females; mean age = 48.6 ± 18.5 years) were enrolled. Quantitatively, 'DESS GIC DL' demonstrated superior relative SNR (p < 0.001), while 'DESS S
conclusionApplication of a DL reconstruction with geometric image combination in DESS MRN improves nerve conspicuity of the LSP, especially for its smaller branch nerves.
