Clinical 4D flow MRI assessment in aortopathy-what the clinician needs to know.
Review in Cardiovascular diagnosis and therapy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Interval cross-sectional imaging plays an important role in aortopathy surveillance. Often, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used over computed tomography (CT) due to the lack of radiation in repeated surveillance and the option of additional hemodynamic assessment. Primarily, assessment includes the orthogonal measurement of aortic dimensions in a three-dimensional (3D) structure. Lately, four-dimensional (4D) flow MRI is becoming more widespread as it can be acquired within 1-5 minutes using advanced techniques. In addition to standard flow quantification, 4D flow MRI offers advanced hemodynamic quantification. This review discusses important advanced imaging biomarkers, including helical flow pattern, wall shear stress (WSS), flow displacement and systolic flow reversal ratio (sFRR). It focuses on those parameters that can be analyzed using commercially available post-processing platforms and are accessible for clinical centers without the need for research setup and collaboration. WSS plays a role in the assessment of bicuspid aortic valve disease. Here it is elevated even without the presence of stenosis. Flow displacement is also of value in bicuspid aortic valve disease and is abnormal in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) as well as chronic aortic dissection. 4D flow MRI is also useful in understanding and assessing flow changes in aortic valve replacement.
