Localized, gradient-reversed ultrafast z-spectroscopy in vivo at 7T.
Article in Magnetic resonance in medicine, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
purposeTo collect ultrafast z-spectra in vivo in situations where voxel homogeneity cannot be assured. THEORY: Saturating in the presence of a gradient encodes the frequency offset spatially across a voxel. This encoding can be resolved by applying a similar gradient during readout. Acquiring additional scans with the gradient polarity reversed effectively mirrors the spatial locations of the frequency offsets so that the same physical location of a positive offset in the original scan will contribute a negative offset in the gradient-reversed scan.
methodsGradient-reversed ultrafast z-spectroscopy (GRUFZS) was implemented and tested in a modified, localized PRESS sequence at 7T. Lysine phantoms were scanned at various concentrations and compared with coventionally-acquired z-spectra. Scans were acquired in vivo in human brain from homogeneous and inhomogeneous voxels with the ultrafast direction cycled between read, phase, and slice. Results were compared to those from a similar conventional z-spectroscopy PRESS-based sequence.
resultsAsymmetry spectra from GRUFZS are more consistent and reliable than those without gradient reversal and are comparable to those from conventional z-spectroscopy. GRUFZS offers significant acceleration in data acquisition compared to traditional chemical exchange saturation transfer methods with high spectral resolution and showed higher relative SNR effficiency.
conclusionGRUFZS offers a method of collecting ultrafast z-spectra in voxels with the inhomogeneity often found in vivo. Magn Reson Med 76:1039-1046, 2016. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
