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

White matter alterations are increasingly implicated in neurological diseases and their progression. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) has been included in many international-scale studies to identify alterations in white matter microstructure and connectivity. Yet, quantitative investigation of DW-MRI data is hindered by a lack of consistency due to variations in acquisition protocols, sites, and scanners. Specifically, there is a need to harmonize the preprocessing of DW-MRI datasets to ensure that compatible and reproducible quantitative metrics are derived from each site, including (1) bundle-wise microstructure measures, (2) features of white matter fiber bundles, and (3) connectomics measures. In the MICCAI CDMRI 2023 QuantConn challenge, participants are provided raw data from the same individuals taken with two different acquisition protocols on a single 4 tesla scanner in the same scanning session and asked to preprocess the data in order to minimize acquisition differences while retaining biological variation. Here, we outline the testing framework, provide baseline pre-harmonized results, and discuss the learning implications of this challenge.
