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

importanceCranial cruciate ligament rupture (CCLR) is a common cause of pelvic limb lameness in dogs. Surgical correction using metallic implants is commonly performed; however, using postoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for evaluation is limited owing to susceptibility artifacts.

objectiveThis study aimed to determine whether a multiacquisition variable-resonance image combination-selective (MAVRIC-SL) sequence, which reduces susceptibility artifacts, is useful for postoperative evaluation.

methodsMRI was performed on four dogs that underwent CCLR correction using metallic implants. Imaging was performed with MAVRIC-SL and two-dimensional fast spin echo (2D-FSE) sequences, including proton density (PD), PD fat-suppressed (F/S), and T2-weighted F/S. The artifact area for each sequence was quantitatively analyzed. A four-level qualitative image analysis was performed to assess image artifacts, cartilage delineation, and visualization of the cranial cruciate ligament and bone.

resultsThe artifact area was significantly reduced with MAVRIC-SL than with 2D-FSE, regardless of the metal materials used. In addition, the amount of artifact, cartilage delineation, and visualization of the bone were significantly improved with MAVRIC-SL compared with 2D-FSE. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: In this preliminary study, the MAVRIC-SL sequence improves postoperative MRI evaluation by reducing susceptibility artifacts in dogs with CCLR treated with metallic implants.
