Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of the synovium and synovial subregions in knee osteoarthritis: test-retest repeatability.

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
Background: Quantitative dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) can potentially be used to assess synovial inflammation in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Precise methods are needed for adequate identification of changes in clinical trials. In this study, we aimed to evaluate test-retest repeatability of DCE-MRI within the synovium of patients with knee OA, and develop a semi-automatic method for synovial subregion assessment. Methods: In this secondary explorative analysis, we included 31 adults with radiographically confirmed mild to moderate knee OA receiving sham treatment as participants of a randomized controlled trial evaluating genicular artery embolization. DCE-MRI of the knee was performed at baseline and at 1-month follow-up. The synovium was semi-automatically segmented and subdivided in 8 subregions based on blood vessel mapping. Quantitative DCE-MRI parameters were extracted from the synovium and its subregions by voxel-wise pharmacokinetic modeling. A two-way random effects model was used to estimate within-subject variance and between-subject variance, and intraclass correlation (ICC), within-subject standard deviation or coefficient of variation, and the repeatability coefficient (RC) were calculated. Results: DCE-MRI parameter K Conclusions: Quantitative DCE-MRI biomarkers have good test-retest repeatability on both the whole synovium and synovial subregions, with K
