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

To explore the application value of three-dimensional breath-hold gradient spin echo sequence (3D BH-GRASE) in MRCP. We conducted MRCP imaging on 56 patients with pancreatic and biliary diseases via both 3D BH-GRASE and 3D NT-TSE. We compared and statistically analysed the acquisition time, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), contrast ratio (CR), contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), and image quality between the two techniques. The mean image acquisition time of 3D BH-GRASE was 16.4 s, which was significantly shorter than the (238.12 ± 43.85) seconds required for 3D NT-TSE (p < 0.05). Compared with3D NT-TSE, 3D BH-GRASE achieved superior scores in overall image quality, artifacts, and visualization of the common bile duct, hepatic duct, and gallbladder/cystic duct (p < 0.05), but not in the left/right hepatic ducts. In contrast, 3D BH-GRASE was significantly inferior to 3D NT-TSE in visualizing the left and right secondary hepatic ducts (p < 0.05), although not for the pancreatic duct. The image quality scores of the 3D NT-TSE group combined with the 3D BH-GRASE group were significantly greater than those of the individual sequences (p < 0.05). 3D BH-GRASE addresses image quality concerns arising from motion artefacts in 3D NT-TSE and serves as a valuable supplementary imaging modality.
