Visualization of the olfactory nerve using constructive interference in steady state magnetic resonance imaging.

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
purposeThe olfactory nerve (OlfN) is a small neural structure with inconsistent visualization on neuroimages. The aim of this study was to delineate the intracranial course of the OlfN using constructive interference in steady state magnetic resonance (MR) imaging.
methodsA total of 168 patients were enrolled in this study. Following initial examinations with conventional MR sequences, constructive interference in steady-state sequence (CISS) was performed in coronal and axial sections.
resultsOn coronal sections, the OlfN was entirely visualized in 90 % of patients on the right and 92 % on the left, coursing along the olfactory sulcus. Complete visualization of the OlfN occurred in 100 % of patients on serial axial images. The OlfN was classified into four portions based on the topographical differences and surrounding structures. The olfactory fossa exhibited considerable variability at the midlevel of the olfactory bulb on coronal images. Characteristic appearance of the OlfN with respect to age range or gender was not observed.
conclusionsThe OlfN follows a highly consistent course along the olfactory sulcus. Thin-sliced, CISS sequences are useful for consistent visualization of the OlfN.
