Dual-echo Z-shimmed proton resonance frequency-shift magnetic resonance thermometry near metallic ablation probes: Technique and temperature precision.
Article in Magnetic resonance in medicine, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 improve the precision of proton resonance frequency-shift magnetic resonance thermometry near ablation probes by recovering near-probe image signals that are typically lost due to magnetic susceptibility-induced field distortions.
methodsA dual-echo gradient-recalled echo sequence was implemented, in which the first echo was under- or over-refocused in the slice dimension to recover image signal and temperature precision near a probe, and the second echo was fully refocused to obtain image signal everywhere else in the slice. A penalized maximum likelihood algorithm was implemented to estimate a single temperature map from both echoes. Agar phantom and ex vivo experiments with and without microwave heating at 3 T evaluated how much temperature precision was improved near a microwave ablator compared to a conventional single-echo scan as a function of slice and needle orientation in the magnet.
resultsThe number of near-probe voxels with temperature standard deviation σ>1°C was decreased by 51% in the phantom experiment, averaged across orientations, and by 31% in the pork. Temperature maps near the probe were more smoother and more complete in all orientations.
conclusionDual-echo z-shimmed temperature imaging can recover image signal for more precise temperature mapping near metallic ablation probes. Magn Reson Med 78:2299-2306, 2017. © 2017 International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine.
