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

purposeCardiac-induced liver motion can bias liver ADC measurements and compromise reproducibility. The purpose of this work was to enable motion-robust DWI on multiple MR scanners and assess reproducibility of the resulting liver ADC measurements.

methodsFirst moment-optimized diffusion imaging (MODI) was implemented on three MR scanners with various gradient performances and field strengths. MODI-DWI and conventional Stejskal-Tanner monopolar (MONO) DWI were acquired in eight (N = 8) healthy volunteers on each scanner, and DWI repetitions were combined using three different averaging methods. For each combination of scanner, acquisition, and averaging method, ADC measurements from each liver segment were collected. Systematic differences in ADC values between scanners and methods were assessed with linear mixed effects modeling, and reproducibility was quantified via reproducibility coefficients.

resultsMODI reduced left-right liver lobe ADC bias from 0.43 × 10

conclusionThe feasibility of motion-robust liver DWI using MODI was demonstrated on multiple MR scanners. MODI improved interlobar agreement and reproducibility of ADC measurements in a healthy cohort.
