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

purposeWe aimed to evaluate the effect of deep learning-based reconstruction (DLR) on high-spatial-resolution three-dimensional T2-weighted fast asymmetric spin-echo (HR-3D T2-FASE) imaging in the preoperative evaluation of cerebellopontine angle (CPA) tumors.

methodsThis study included 13 consecutive patients who underwent preoperative HR-3D T2-FASE imaging using a 3 T MRI scanner. The reconstruction voxel size of HR-3D T2-FASE imaging was 0.23 × 0.23 × 0.5 mm. The contrast-to-noise ratios (CNRs) of the structures were compared between HR-3D T2-FASE images with and without DLR. The observers' preferences based on four categories on the tumor side on HR-3D T2-FASE images were evaluated. The facial nerve in relation to the tumor on HR-3D T2-FASE images was assessed with reference to intraoperative findings.

resultsThe mean CNR between the tumor and trigeminal nerve and between the cerebrospinal fluid and trigeminal nerve was significantly higher for DLR images than non-DLR-based images (14.3 ± 8.9 vs. 12.0 ± 7.6, and 66.4 ± 12.0 vs. 53.9 ± 8.5, P < 0.001, respectively). The observer's preference for the depiction and delineation of the tumor, cranial nerves, vessels, and location relation on DLR HR-3D T2FASE images was superior to that on non-DLR HR-3D T2FASE images in 7 (54%), 6 (46%), 6 (46%), and 6 (46%) of 13 cases, respectively. The facial nerves around the tumor on HR-3D T2-FASE images were visualized accurately in five (38%) cases with DLR and in four (31%) without DLR.

conclusionDLR HR-3D T2-FASE imaging is useful for the preoperative assessment of CPA tumors.
