Improving osteoarticular characterization in magnetic resonance imaging: the role of simulated computed tomography sequences.
Article in Radiologia brasileira. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Increasing tissue contrast for bone assessment on magnetic resonance imaging has been the aim of several recent studies, and various techniques have been proposed for that purpose, including ultrashort echo time sequences, zero echo time sequences, and gradient echo sequences in various acquisition forms. In this article, we discuss the fast field echo resembling a computed tomography using restricted echo-spacing (FRACTURE) sequence, which we have started to use routinely in our practice. The FRACTURE sequences are based on the acquisition of gradient echo sequences with different echo times and specific postprocessing. Gradient echo sequences are widely available on magnetic resonance imaging scanners, which is an advantage for the use of a FRACTURE sequence. However, being more susceptible to metal artifacts, a FRACTURE sequence is of limited utility in patients with metallic implants or medical devices. The aim of this article is to illustrate the use of FRACTURE sequences in various contexts, including osteoarticular infection, inflammatory arthropathy, bone tumors, fractures, and crystal deposition diseases.
