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

Intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) measurements allow to probe tissue microcirculation non-invasively. Spinal cord perfusion has been shown to be altered following different neurological pathologies. A non-invasive imaging protocol to assess perfusion in the cervical cord is, therefore, clinically relevant. This work aimed at assessing the reliability of IVIM parameters sensitive to perfusion changes in the cervical cord by determining the test-retest variability across subjects and different post-processing fitting algorithms. IVIM test-retest scans were acquired in the cervical cord (C1-C3) of 10 healthy subjects on a 3T MRI scanner, with a 15-minute break in-between. IVIM parameters, including microvascular volume fraction (
