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 evaluate a motion-compensated diffusion imaging with phase-contrast (MC-DIP) technique for mitigating errors in regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) quantification caused by physiological brain motion.

methodsDiffusion-weighted images were acquired in 11 healthy volunteers on a 3.0 T MRI system using three gradient schemes: second-order motion-compensated (2nd-MC), first-order motion-compensated (1st-MC), and non-compensated (non-MC) diffusion gradients. Absolute rCBF maps were generated for each scheme by calibrating intravoxel incoherent motion-derived relative perfusion maps with total cerebral blood flow measured by phase-contrast MRI. The rCBF values from the DIP methods were compared in gray and white matter with a reference arterial spin labeling (ASL) measurement.

resultsBoth motion-compensated schemes (2nd-MC and 1st-MC) provided significantly better biexponential fitting accuracy in gray matter compared with the non-MC scheme (p < 0.05). In white matter, however, only the 2nd-MC scheme resulted in a significant improvement over the other methods (p < 0.05). While rCBF values from all three DIP methods showed a strong positive correlation with ASL in gray matter (ρ ≥ 0.82, p < 0.05), only the 2nd-MC-DIP method demonstrated a significant positive correlation in white matter (ρ = 0.69, p < 0.05).

conclusionThe implementation of second-order motion compensation within the DIP framework improves fitting accuracy, enabling robust rCBF quantification.
