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

objectRepeatability and reproducibility are imperative for new Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) methods, such as the quantitative technique MR Fingerprinting (MRF), to be clinically adopted for regular patient usage. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe tested the repeatability and reproducibility of a new free-breathing (FB) quadratic RF phase Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting (qRF-MRF) with Pilot Tone (PT) navigator in the abdominal cavity with a focus on liver by performing repeat scan-rescan collection comparisons for 8 healthy volunteers on 2 different Siemens Vida 3T scanners at the same site running different software versions.

resultsUsing Bland-Altman analysis, our results for T1, T2, and T2* establish the repeatability and reproducibility, via the limits of agreement and bias estimations, of the FB qRF-MRF sequence and compare to its breath-held qRF-MRF and clinical standard counterparts across scanners and scan conditions.  DISCUSSION: Based on the bias and limits of agreement of breath-hold and FB qRF-MRF patients can receive reliable and comparable imaging at different sessions for prognosis and treatment planning.
