CT-Like MRI for Assessing Shoulder Bone and Ligament Injuries.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
Introduction This study investigates the use of "CT-like imaging" derived from a 3D multi-echo gradient-recalled echo (GRE) MRI sequence to assess the morphology of bones and ligaments in the shoulder joint. Methods CT-like images were produced using a 3D multi-echo GRE sequence with optimized imaging parameters, including a 5° flip angle and the combination of two echo acquisitions. A monopolar readout gradient was employed to minimize ligament blurring, and subtraction processing was applied to enhance the visualization of both bone and ligament structures. Results In a clinical case of anterior shoulder dislocation, the CT-like images successfully revealed bone injuries with clarity comparable to that of conventional CT. In addition, this MRI-based technique provided superior visualization of ligament structures. Conclusions This radiation-free imaging approach offers particular advantages for radiosensitive patients. However, further validation in multicenter studies across various age groups is necessary to establish its broader clinical utility.
