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

Purpose: To evaluate the advantages of 5T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) analysis for brain imaging and explore whether standardized perfusion parameters show similar distributions between 3T and 5T cohorts. Methods: Retrospective analysis of 52 adults undergoing 3T/5T MRI (July 2022-February 2025) with T1-weighted and DSC-MRI sequences. Perfusion parameters [cerebral blood volume (CBV), cerebral blood flow (CBF), and mean transit time (MTT)] and gray matter-to-white matter (GM/WM) ratios were quantified using MItalytics software. Signal-to-noise (SNR) and contrast ratios (CR) were compared, with Wilcoxon rank-sum tests. Results: Fifty-two patients (male/female: 24/28; age range: 24-74 years) were divided into 3T ( Conclusion: In this retrospective analysis, 5T MRI showed higher T1-weighted contrast and similar DSC-MRI SNR relative to 3T under the tested protocols. DSC perfusion parameters, quantified using the MItalytics platform, showed no statistically significant between-cohort differences.
