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

Background: Physics-informed deep learning (DL) reconstructions show promise in accelerating MRI yet have not been extensively validated, particularly for 3D fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) sequence. Purpose: To evaluate the diagnostic quality and interchangeability of DL-based 3D FLAIR with a state-of-the-art acceleration technique (wave-controlled aliasing in parallel imaging [Wave-CAIPI] FLAIR) in a clinical setting with 3 T brain MRI. Materials and Methods: Participants undergoing evaluation for demyelinating disease between October and December of 2023 were prospectively enrolled at a single center. For each participant, state-of-the-art Wave-CAIPI FLAIR and a resolution-matched 6-fold-under-sampled Cartesian FLAIR acquisition with DL reconstruction were performed at 3-T system (MAGNETOM Vida, Siemens Healthineers, Erlangen, Germany). Four neuroradiologists evaluated overall image quality, anatomic conspicuity, lesion conspicuity, and imaging artifacts. Lesion count, volume, and regional brain volume were compared between imaging methods. Inter-reader agreement was assessed using quadratic weighted Cohen's kappa and Kendall's correlation coefficient. Agreement of continuous metrics was evaluated using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs), linear regression, and Bland-Altman analysis. Interchangeability regarding the quantitative metrics was evaluated with individual equivalence index (IEI). Results: Totally, 88 participants (61 women [69%], 47 ± 13 years) were evaluated. DL-FLAIR reduced scan time (1:53 vs. 2:50) and showed higher overall image quality, anatomic conspicuity, lesion conspicuity, and imaging artifacts compared with state-of-the-art technique (all Conclusion: Deep learning reconstruction of 3D-FLAIR provides higher image quality compared to a state-of-the-art technique with 30% less scan time while maintaining excellent agreement and interchangeability in quantitative evaluation.
