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

Four-dimensional phase contrast MRI (4D flow) has emerged as a versatile imaging technique for comprehensive visualization and both qualitative and quantitative assessment of cardiovascular blood flow. 4D flow is a three-dimensional, time-resolved acquisition that is gated to the cardiac cycle. 4D flow provides cardiovascular velocity and flow assessment across the volume of acquisition and yields a multitude of advanced hemodynamic parameters that help to assess the impact of cardiovascular disease on flow and vice versa, guiding the clinical and surgical management of patients with congenital and acquired heart disease. In the past, lengthy scan acquisition and complex post-processing workflows hindered 4D flow adoption into routine clinical practice. Decreasing image acquisition times and improvements in post-processing techniques have made 4D flow a clinically useful tool. The purpose of this communication is to facilitate more widespread adoption of 4D flow by describing its clinical utility, technical acquisition, optimization, and post-processing in pediatric cardiovascular imaging at our center.
