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: Understanding iliac hemodynamics in both healthy individuals and patients with vascular diseases is important from both physiological and pathological perspectives, and the four-dimensional (4D) flow technique is a valuable tool for the accurate quantification of hemodynamics. However, conventional 4D flow acquisition is time-consuming. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the hemodynamics of the iliac arteries and veins using both conventional single-velocity encoding (VENC) and compressed sensing (CS)-accelerated dual-VENC 4D flow sequences in healthy controls (HCs) and patients with deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Methods: This study included HCs and patients with DVT between December 2024 and April 2025. Two conventional single-VENC 4D flow sequences with high and low VENCs and a dual-VENC CS-accelerated sequence were performed and postprocessed by two experienced readers. Quality control, including test-retest reliability, agreement between techniques, and intra- and inter-reader agreement, was performed, and the correlation between age and flow parameters was also calculated. Results: The acquisition time for conventional high-VENC, low-VENC, and CS dual-VENC 4D flow was 10.6, 10.7, and 8.8 min, respectively. In the quality control analysis, the intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) for test-retest reliability, intraobserver, and interobserver agreements were all >0.85 (P≤0.001). In arterial segments, both velocity and wall shear stress (WSS) measured by the CS methods were lower than those obtained by conventional methods, with the underestimation percent ranging from 2.8% to 11.8% in HCs and from 1.9% to 14.8% in patients with DVT. For venous segments, CS-based measurements underestimated velocity and WSS by 1.1-12.0% in HCs and 1.3-14.2% in patients with DVT. Negative correlations were found between age and arterial velocity (R=-0.33), arterial WSS (R=-0.34), and venous velocity (R=-0.29) (all P values <0.05). Conclusions: The study results indicate that the CS dual-VENC 4D flow sequence is feasible for rapid simultaneous assessment of iliac arteries and veins in both HCs and patients with DVT. However, the underestimation caused by CS should be noted.
