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

objectivesTo determine the optimal saturation power for chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) imaging and evaluate the prognostic value of CEST parameters at different saturation powers in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). MATERIALS AND

methodsSeventy-nine AIS patients underwent CEST imaging at saturation powers of 1, 1.5, and 2 μT. Amide proton transfer (APT

resultsHypointense artifacts were most pronounced at 2 μT and minimized at 1 μT on APT

conclusionsAPT KEY POINTS: Question Standardized scanning parameters for chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) imaging in the evaluation of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) have not yet been established. Findings Amide proton transfer (APT
