Qualitative and Quantitative MR Imaging of the Cartilaginous Endplate: A Review.
Review in Journal of magnetic resonance imaging : JMRI, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The cartilaginous endplate (CEP) plays a pivotal role in facilitating the supply of nutrients and, transport of metabolic waste, as well as providing mechanical support for the intervertebral disc (IVD). Recent technological advances have led to a surge in MR imaging studies focused on the CEP. This article describes the anatomy and functions of the CEP as well as MRI techniques for both qualitative and quantitative assessment of the CEP. Effective CEP MR imaging sequences require two key features: high spatial resolution and relatively short echo time. High spatial resolution spoiled gradient echo (SPGR) and ultrashort echo time (UTE) sequences, fulfilling these requirements, are the basis for most of the sequences employed in CEP imaging. This article reviews existing sequences for qualitative CEP imaging, such as the fat-suppressed SPGR and UTE, dual-echo subtraction UTE, inversion recovery prepared and fat-suppressed UTE, and dual inversion recovery prepared UTE sequences. These sequences are employed together with other techniques for quantitative CEP imaging, including measurements of T
