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

backgroundTo investigate the ability of a delayed respiratory-navigated, electrocardiographically-gated three-dimensional inversion recovery-prepared fast low-angle shot (3D IR FLASH) sequence to evaluate the lower airways in children undergoing routine cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR).

methodsThis retrospective study included pediatric patients (0-18 years) who underwent clinical CMR where a delayed 3D IR FLASH sequence was performed between July 2020 and April 2021. The airway image quality and extent of lower airway visibility were graded by two blinded readers using a four-point ordinal scale (0-3). Lower airway anatomical variants and abnormalities were recorded.

resultsOne hundred and eighty patients were included with a median age of 11.7 (4.6-15.3) years. Fifty-one of 180 (28%) were under general anesthesia. Overall, the median grading of airway image quality was 3 (2-3) and the extent of lower airway visibility was 3 (3-3). Interrater agreement was almost perfect (κ = 0.867 and κ = 0.956, respectively). Image quality correlated with extent of lower airway visibility (r = 0.62, p < 0.01). Delayed 3D IR FLASH was able to characterize the segmental bronchi in 137/180 (76%) and lobar bronchi in 172/180 (96%) of patients. Lower airway abnormalities were identified in 37/180 (21%) of patients and 33/129 (26%) with congenital heart disease (CHD). Identified abnormalities included tracheobronchial branching anomalies in 6/180 (3%), abnormal tracheobronchial situs in 6/180 (3%), and extrinsic vascular compression in 25/180 (14%).

conclusionDelayed 3D IR FLASH has excellent performance for evaluation of the lower airway anatomy and can simultaneously assess for myocardial late gadolinium enhancement. Lower airway abnormalities are not infrequently seen in children undergoing routine CMR for CHD.
