Comparison of 3D magnetic resonance imaging and digital subtraction angiography for intracranial artery stenosis.
Article in European radiology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers.
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
objectivesTo compare three-dimensional high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (3D HR-MRI) and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) for diagnosing and evaluating stenosis in the entire circle of Willis.
methodsThe study included 516 intracranial arteries from 43 patients with intracranial artery stenosis (ICAS) who underwent both 3D HR-MRI and DSA within 1 month. Two readers independently diagnosed atherosclerosis, dissection, moyamoya disease and vasculitis, rated their diagnostic confidence for each vessel and measured the luminal diameters. Reference standard was made from clinico-radiologic diagnosis. Diagnostic accuracy, diagnostic confidence, the degree of stenosis and luminal diameter were assessed and compared between both modalities.
resultsFor atherosclerosis, 3D HR-MRI showed better diagnostic accuracy (P = .03-.003), sensitivity (P = .006-.01) and positive predictive value (P ≤ .001-.006) compared to DSA. Overall, the readers were more confident of their diagnosis of ICAS when using 3D HR-MRI (reader 1, P ≤ .001-.007; reader 2, P ≤ .001-.015). 3D HR-MRI showed similar degree of stenosis (P > .05) and higher luminal diameter (P < .05) compared to DSA.
conclusions3D HR-MRI might be useful to evaluate atherosclerosis, with better diagnostic confidence and comparable stenosis measurement compared to DSA in the entire circle of Willis. KEY POINTS: • 3D HR-MRI showed better diagnostic accuracy for atherosclerosiscompared to DSA • 3D HR-MRI showed better overall diagnostic confidence for stenosiscompared to DSA • 3D HR-MRI and DSA showed similar degree of stenosis.
