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

backgroundMagnetic particle imaging (MPI) allows for radiation-free visualization of tracers without background signal. With the first human-sized interventional MPI scanner being recently developed, the aim of the present study was to test its performance for guiding of endovascular procedures in a realistic perfusion model.

methodsThree fresh-frozen cadaveric legs were prepared to establish continuous circulation in the superficial femoral artery via introducer sheaths in the inguinal and infragenicular region. To facilitate vessel visualization, a mixture of a MPI tracer (Resotran® or Perimag®) and X-ray contrast agent was injected under continuous extracorporeal perfusion and imaged simultaneously with MPI angiography and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) as reference.

resultsThe MPI scanner integrates seamlessly into the standard operating procedures in the angiography suite and simultaneous imaging with DSA and MPI is feasible. The MPI scanner detects a tracer bolus of 2 ml Perimag® or 1.5 ml Resotran®. Imaging results are consistent and reproducible in three cadaveric leg phantoms.

conclusionThis study demonstrates, that the recently developed human-sized MPI scanner facilitates reliable radiation-free image guidance for peripheral vascular interventions in the superficial femoral artery with a tracer approved for use in humans.
