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
The purpose of this systematic review is to identify trends and extent of variability in intracranial vessel wall MR imaging (VWI) techniques and protocols. Although variability in selection of protocol design and pulse sequence type is known, data on what and how protocols vary are unknown. Three databases were searched to identify publications using intracranial VWI. Publications were screened by predetermined inclusion/exclusion criteria. Technical development publications were scored for completeness of reporting using a modified Nature Reporting Summary Guideline to assess reproducibility. From 2,431 articles, 122 met the inclusion criteria. Trends over the last 23 years (1995-2018) show increased use of 3-Tesla MR (P < .001) and 3D volumetric T1-weighted acquisitions (P < .001). Most (65%) clinical VWI publications report achieving a noninterpolated in-plane spatial resolution of ≤.55 mm. In the last decade, an increasing number of technical development (n = 20) and 7 Tesla (n = 12) publications have been published, focused on pulse sequence development, improving cerebrospinal fluid suppression, scan efficiency, and imaging ex vivo specimen for histologic validation. Mean Reporting Summary Score for the technical development publications was high (.87, range: .63-1.0) indicating strong scientific technical reproducibility. Innovative work continues to emerge to address implementation challenges. Gradual adoption into the research and scientific community was suggested by a shift in the name in the literature from "high-resolution MR" to "vessel wall imaging," specifying diagnostic intent. Insight into current practices and identifying the extent of technical variability in the literature will help to direct future clinical and technical efforts to address needs for implementation.
