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

Purpose: To evaluate a physics-based deep-learning-accelerated super-resolution T1-weighted MPRAGE sequence (DL-MPRAGE) against standard 3-dimensional T1-weighted MPRAGE (STD-MPRAGE) for quantitative and qualitative regional cortical volume assessment. Materials and Methods: This prospective single-center study included patients undergoing evaluation for memory loss on 3T MRI scanners (MAGNETOM Vida, Siemens Healthineers, Forchheim, Germany) from October 2023 to January 2024. The absolute symmetrized percent change in cortical volume and thickness was assessed on DL- and STD-MPRAGE images using the FreeSurfer brain segmentation algorithm. Bland-Altman analysis evaluated the agreement in volumetrics for each anatomical region. Additionally, 2 blinded radiologists independently qualitatively rated image quality metrics and cortical volume loss for anatomical regions based on standardized scales. Results: A total of 64 participants (29 women [45%], mean age 62 years ±16 [SD]) were evaluated. DL-MPRAGE increased spatial resolution from 1 mm to 0.5 mm while reducing scan time by more than half (2:11 vs. 5:21). Mean regional volumes for DL-MPRAGE were systematically lower than for STD-MPRAGE (eg, 17 226 ± 2011 vs. 17 923 ± 2185 mm Conclusions: DL-MPRAGE offers quantitatively and qualitatively equivalent volumetric estimation compared to STD-MPRAGE while improving spatial resolution and acquisition speed for patients undergoing evaluation for memory loss.
