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

To compare image quality, agreement in left atrial fibrosis (LAF) quantification, and acquisition time for late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging between three-dimensional whole-heart modified Dixon (mDixon) and phase-sensitive inversion recovery (PSIR) sequences of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Thirty patients with AF who underwent LGE-CMR were prospectively enrolled. Subjective image quality scores, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), contrast ratio (CR), and acquisition time were compared, and inter-sequence agreement in LAF quantification was assessed. Compared with PSIR-LGE, mDixon-LGE achieved a higher rate of excellent image quality (80% vs. 60%, P = 0.031), higher CNR
