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

backgroundFluoroscopy-guided inferior vena cava (IVC) filter implantation and retrieval involve ionizing radiation and iodinated contrast agents. MRI-guided interventions may provide a radiation-free alternative with direct visualization of filter position and hook accessibility. This study evaluated the feasibility of MRI-guided implantation and snare loop (SNL)-assisted retrieval of a dedicated MR-resonant IVC filter at 3 T.

methodsMR-resonant devices were assessed in a three-stage protocol. Device visibility was investigated in a saline phantom using balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP) imaging at 3 T with the IVC filter oriented parallel to the main magnetic field B

resultsMR-resonant signal enhancement enabled reliable visualization of the IVC filter in phantom and in vivo experiments. Eight filters were successfully implanted in five animals, and SNL-assisted retrieval followed by re-implantation was achieved in all retrieval attempts (3/3). Quantitative signal analysis of the saline phantom experiments demonstrated significant effects of flip angle (p < 0.001), rotation angle (p < 0.001), and filter diameter (p = 0.032) on normalized signal intensity, with the strongest signal enhancement observed at a flip angle of 10°.

conclusionsMRI-guided implantation and SNL-assisted retrieval of an MR-resonant IVC filter at 3 T demonstrated feasibility within a multistage preclinical workflow. Phantom and in vivo experiments showed reliable visualization and procedural guidance, supporting further development toward clinically applicable MRI-guided caval interventions.
