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

purposeTo enable diffusion weighted imaging in prostate patients with metallic total hip replacements in clinically feasible scan times for prostate cancer screening, and avoid distortion and dropout artifacts present in the conventionally used Echo Planar Imaging (EPI).

methodsA reduced field of view (FOV) diffusion-prepared sequence that is robust to the B

resultsThe proposed sequence is robust to shading and distortion artifacts that are encountered by standard diffusion-weighted EPI in the presence of moderate off-resonance. Apparent diffusion coefficient estimates obtained by the proposed sequence were comparable to those obtained with diffusion-weighted EPI.

conclusionAcquisition of distortionless diffusion weighted images of the prostate is feasible in patients with total hip replacements on conventional, whole-body 3T MRI, using a b-value of 800
