Technical Feasibility of IVIM for Prostate Cancer Imaging Using High-Amplitude Whole-Body Gradient System With Spiral Readout and Velocity-Compensated Diffusion Encoding.
Article in NMR in biomedicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) is sensitive to tissue diffusion and perfusion and has spurred great interest in various pathologies such as prostate cancer. However, poor repeatability and reproducibility of IVIM parameters hamper its wide-scale adoption in the clinics. To address this, improvements to the IVIM data acquisition and analysis are necessary. The purpose of this study was to develop a framework for high-quality IVIM imaging of the prostate. To boost signal precision and quality of IVIM parameter maps, we used a custom pulse sequence to combine velocity-compensated diffusion encoding with spiral readout at a high-performance 3 T MRI system with 300 mT/m gradients. IVIM parameters were evaluated in a cohort of five men with and without prostate cancer. Technical performance was assessed in terms of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), visual quality of IVIM parameter maps and parameter repeatability. High in-plane resolution images of the prostate were obtained with SNR > 3 (i.e., noise floor level) in 91% of voxels at the highest b-value of 500 s/mm
