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

purposeTo achieve ultra-high temporal resolution non-contrast 4D angiography with improved spatiotemporal fidelity.

methodsContinuous data acquisition using 3D golden-angle sampling following an arterial spin labeling preparation allows for flexibly reconstructing 4D dynamic angiograms at arbitrary temporal resolutions. However, k-space data is often temporally "binned" before image reconstruction, negatively affecting spatiotemporal fidelity and limiting temporal resolution. In this work, a subspace was extracted by linearly compressing a dictionary constructed from simulated curves of an angiographic kinetic model. The subspace was used to represent and reconstruct the voxelwise signal timecourse at the same temporal resolution as the data acquisition without temporal binning. Physiological parameters were estimated from the resulting images using a Bayesian fitting approach. A group of eight healthy subjects were scanned and the in vivo results reconstructed by different methods were compared. Because of the difficulty of obtaining ground truth 4D angiograms with ultra-high temporal resolution, the in vivo results were cross-validated with numerical simulations.

resultsThe proposed method enables 4D time-resolved angiography with much higher temporal resolution (14.7 ms) than previously reported (˜50 ms) while maintaining high spatial resolution (1.1 mm isotropic). Blood flow dynamics were depicted in greater detail, thin vessel visibility was improved, and the estimated physiological parameters also exhibited more realistic spatial patterns with the proposed method.

conclusionIncorporating a subspace compressed kinetic model into the reconstruction of 4D ASL angiograms notably improved the temporal resolution and spatiotemporal fidelity, which was subsequently beneficial for accurate physiological modeling.
