Improving Accuracy and Reproducibility of Cartilage T
Article in Journal of magnetic resonance imaging : JMRI, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundThe Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI) collected extensive imaging data, including Multi-Echo Spin-Echo (MESE) sequences for measuring knee cartilage T PURPOSE: To assess how different fitting methods, including EPG-based and exponential-based approaches, affect the accuracy and reproducibility of cartilage T STUDY TYPE: Retrospective. POPULATION: From OAI dataset, 50 subjects, stratified by osteoarthritis (OA) severity using Kellgren-Lawrence grades (KLG), and 50 subjects without OA diagnosis during OAI duration were selected (each group: 25 females, mean ages ~61 years). FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE: 3-T, two-dimensional (2D) MESE sequence. ASSESSMENT: Femoral and tibial cartilages were segmented from DESS images, subdivided into seven sub-regions, and co-registered to MESE. T STATISTICAL TESTS: Bland-Altman analysis, Lin's concordance coefficient, and coefficient of variation assessed agreement, repeatability, and reproducibility. Statistical significance was set at P-value <0.05.
