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

objectiveAortic Dissection (AD) is one of the most fatal acute diseases in cardiovascular diseases, with rapid onset and progression and a high fatality rate. This study aims to investigate the clinical values of non-enhancement peripheral pulse-gating rapid magnetic resonance imaging in deterministic diagnosis of AD.

methodsAorta magnetic resonance imaging was performed in 21 healthy volunteers at a 1.5t MR scanner sequences including cardiac-gated and peripheral pulse-gated True-FISP and HASTE were carried out separately. Acquisition Time (TA), Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR), Contrast Noise Ratio (CNR), and entirety of vessel wall blood flow artifacts were measured and compared. A total of 56 AD cases were displayed by non-enhancement peripheral pulse-gating fast MR imaging, and the results were compared with pathological findings or CTA of the aorta. The dissection rupture, tear film, true and false lumen, thrombosis, hydropericardium, and the main branches of AD were evaluated respectively.

resultsThere were no significant differences in SNR, CNR, entirety of the vessel wall, and blood flow artifact between cardiac-gated and peripheral pulse-gated fast MR imaging. Non-enhancement pulse-gated fast scanning takes less TA time. By the pulse-gated non-enhancement fast MR imaging, the dissection rupture, tear film, true and false cavity, thrombosis, hydropericardium, and the main branches of aortic dissection were shown clearly. Multi-planar and multi-angle scans helped to show the extent of entrapment rupture, whereas partial complex tears or bi-directional tears were slightly less well visualized.

conclusionNon-enhancement peripheral pulse-gated rapid magnetic resonance imaging can be used for deterministic diagnosis of AD.
