Quantitative lung ventilation using Fourier decomposition MRI; comparison and initial study.
Article in Magma (New York, N.Y.), 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveThe Fourier decomposition (FD) method is a noninvasive method for assessing ventilation and perfusion-related information in the lungs, but the lack of quantifiable values is a drawback. We demonstrate a novel technique for quantification of the FD ventilation maps, compare it to two published methods, and show results from both healthy volunteers and patients diagnosed with lung cancer. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe quantified the standard FD ventilation images by utilizing additional information, i.e., the zero-frequency component image, which is also obtained from the Fourier analysis. This image acts as a baseline for the changes recorded in the FD ventilation image and can therefore be used to calculate the ventilation. Using this technique, we compared the ventilation values from ten healthy volunteers and ten patients to two previously published methods for quantitative ventilation assessment.
resultsAll methods showed good overall agreement (mean difference between the methods was 14-38 ml/min). The mean minute ventilation for the FD method was calculated to be 693 ml/min for a 2D slice, which is in the expected range.
conclusionThe zero-frequency component image can be used as a baseline to quantify the FD ventilation maps. Our initial study showed good agreement with published methods in healthy volunteers, but less so in patients with lung cancer.
