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

purposeTo develop and validate a protocol for simultaneous volumetric T1 and T2 mapping with blood- and fat-suppression, and apply it to patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) to assess tissue characteristics.

methodsA spoiled gradient echo (SPGR) variable flip angle (VFA) acquisition was modified with preparation modules to suppress blood and fat signals. To account for the additional T1 and T2 weighting introduced by these preparation blocks, a dedicated signal model was developed, enabling accurate simultaneous T1 and T2 quantification. The method was validated through Bloch simulations and phantom experiments. Subsequently, the protocol was applied to 20 AAA patients.

resultsBloch simulations perfectly overlaid the signal model, validating the model. In phantom experiments, the bias for T1 was reduced from -781 to 100 ms when incorporating the signal model, and the bias for T2 was -7 ms. In vivo application in 20 AAA patients demonstrated the feasibility of generating volumetric T1 and T2 maps of the aortic vessel wall with blood- and fat-suppression.

conclusionThe proposed method enables simultaneous T1 and T2 mapping with blood- and fat-suppression in AAA patients. Validation in simulations and phantom experiments confirmed accuracy, while in vivo experiments demonstrated technical feasibility, providing a foundation for future clinical studies on vessel wall tissue characterization.
