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

purposeTo demonstrate the interchangeable neck shape-specific (NSS) coil concept that supplements standard commercial spine and head/neck coils to provide simultaneous high-resolution (hi-res) head/neck imaging with high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).

methodsTwo NSS coils were constructed on formers designed to fit two different neck shapes. A 7-channel (7ch) ladder array was constructed on a medium neck former, and a 9-channel (9ch) ladder array was constructed on large neck former. Both coils were interchangeable with the same preamp housing.

resultsThe 7ch and 9ch coils demonstrate SNR gains of approximately 4 times and 3 times over the Siemens 20-channel head/neck coil in the carotid arteries of our volunteers, respectively. Coupling between the Siemens 32-channel spine coil, Siemens 20-channel head/neck coil, and the NSS coils was negligible, allowing for simultaneous hi-res head/neck imaging with high SNR.

conclusionsThis study demonstrates that supplementing existing commercial spine and head/neck coils with an NSS coil allows uniform simultaneous hi-res imaging with high SNR in the anterior neck, while maintaining SNR of the commercial coil in the head and posterior neck.
