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

Diffusion MRI underpins much of modern population neuroscience, yet scanner access remains concentrated in high-income settings, excluding the genetic, developmental, and disease diversity needed for generalizable discovery. Portable low-field MRI systems (field strengths below 0.1 T) offer a cheaper, infrastructure-light alternative that could extend diffusion imaging to under-represented populations, but only if the measurements are sufficiently repeatable. Here we provide the first systematic test-retest evaluation of tract-based diffusion tensor MRI (DT-MRI) metrics at 64 mT. Ten healthy participants were scanned at two time-points (median interval 13 days) with an 18-direction (
