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

purposeThe interest in applying and modeling dynamic MRS has recently grown. Two-dimensional modeling yields advantages for the precision of metabolite estimation in interrelated MRS data. However, it is unknown whether including all transients simultaneously in a 2D model without averaging (presuming a stable signal) performs similarly to one-dimensional (1D) modeling of the averaged spectrum. Therefore, we systematically investigated the accuracy, precision, and uncertainty estimation of both described model approaches.

methodsMonte Carlo simulations of synthetic MRS data were used to compare the accuracy and uncertainty estimation of simultaneous 2D multitransient linear-combination modeling (LCM) with 1D-LCM of the average. A total of 2,500 data sets per condition with different noise representations of a 64-transient MRS experiment at six signal-to-noise levels for two separate spin systems (scyllo-inositol and gamma-aminobutyric acid) were analyzed. Additional data sets with different levels of noise correlation were also analyzed. Modeling accuracy was assessed by determining the relative bias of the estimated amplitudes against the ground truth, and modeling precision was determined by SDs and Cramér-Rao lower bounds (CRLBs).

resultsAmplitude estimates for 1D- and 2D-LCM agreed well and showed a similar level of bias compared with the ground truth. Estimated CRLBs agreed well between both models and with ground-truth CRLBs. For correlated noise, the estimated CRLBs increased with the correlation strength for the 1D-LCM but remained stable for the 2D-LCM.

conclusionOur results indicate that the model performance of 2D multitransient LCM is similar to averaged 1D-LCM. This validation on a simplified scenario serves as a necessary basis for further applications of 2D modeling.
