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

objectiveTo assess the accuracy of deep learning reconstruction (DLR) technique on synthetic MRI (SyMRI) including T2 measurements and diagnostic performance of DLR synthetic MRI (SyMRI MATERIALS AND

methodsThis prospective study recruited 36 volunteers and 70 patients with suspected KOA from May to October 2023. DLR and non-DLR synthetic T2 measurements (T2-SyMRI

resultsDLR significantly narrowed the quantitative differences between T2-SyMRI

conclusionDLR synthetic knee MRI provided both weighted images for clinical diagnosis and accurate T2 measurements for more confidently identifying early cartilage degeneration from normal-appearing cartilages. CRITICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT: One-acquisition synthetic MRI based on deep learning reconstruction provided an accurate quantitative T2 map and morphologic images in relatively short scan time for more confidently identifying early cartilage degeneration from normal-appearing cartilages compared to the conventional morphologic knee sequences. KEY POINTS: Deep learning reconstruction (DLR) synthetic knee cartilage T2 values showed no difference from conventional ones. DLR synthetic T1-, proton density-, STIR-weighted images had high positive percent agreement and negative percentage agreement using MRI OA Knee Score features. DLR synthetic T2 measurements could identify early cartilage degeneration from normal-appearing ones.
