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

Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) is used to quantify the blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability-surface area product. Serial measurements can indicate changes in BBB health, of interest to the study of normal physiology, neurological disease, and the effect of therapeutics. We performed a scan-rescan study to inform both sample size calculation for future studies and an appropriate reference change value for patient care. The final dataset included 28 healthy individuals (mean age 53.0 years, 82% female) scanned twice with mean interval 9.9 weeks. DCE-MRI was performed at 3T using a 3D gradient echo sequence with whole brain coverage, T1 mapping using variable flip angles, and a 16-min dynamic sequence with a 3.2-s time resolution. Segmentation of white and grey matter (WM/GM) was performed using a 3D magnetization-prepared gradient echo image. The influx constant K
