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

Three-dimensional magnetic resonance vessel wall imaging (3D MR-VWI) is critical for characterizing cerebrovascular pathologies, yet its clinical adoption is hindered by labor-intensive postprocessing. We developed VWI Assistant, a multi-sequence integrated deep learning platform trained on multicenter data (study cohorts 1981 patients and imaging datasets) to automate artery segmentation and reconstruction. The framework demonstrated robust performance across diverse patient populations, imaging protocols, and scanner manufacturers, achieving 92.9% qualified rate comparable to expert manual delineation. VWI Assistant reduced processing time by over 90% (10-12 min per case) compared to manual methods (p < 0.001) and improved inter-/intra-reader agreement. Real-world deployment (n = 1099 patients) demonstrated rapid clinical adoption, with utilization rates increasing from 10.8% to 100.0% within 12 months. By streamlining 3D MR-VWI workflows, VWI Assistant addresses scalability challenges in vascular imaging, offering a practical tool for routine use and large-scale research, significantly improving workflow efficiency while reducing labor and time costs.
