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

purposeAccurate identification of arterial feeders and draining veins is critical for treatment decision-making in patients with intracranial high-flow vascular lesions. Currently available MRI sequences lack the temporal and spatial resolution needed for this task. A novel time-resolved pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling (ASL) angiography sequence with high spatial and temporal resolution was developed, and image quality metrics relevant to clinical performance were assessed.

methodsTen volunteers and eight patients with intracranial high-flow vascular lesions underwent a brain MRI protocol, augmented with the new sequence with multi-spoke (1-3) readouts and dynamic, sliding-window reconstruction. For each of the acquisitions, image quality was assessed using a 5-point Likert scale, as well as SNR and SNR efficiency. Spatial and temporal resolution and acquisition time were compared with standard-of-care sequences used to assess high-flow vascular lesions.

resultsThe time-resolved angiographic sequence achieved high isotropic spatial resolution (0.68 mm

conclusionThis study demonstrated the clinical feasibility of a novel time-resolved ASL sequence using a multi-spoke 3D-radial readout with a vessel-signal optimized flip angle sweep. Sufficient SNR, superior spatial and temporal resolution to CE-MRA, and a comparable spatial resolution to TOF MRA were achieved in a clinically reasonable acquisition time.
