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

A Wireless Amplified NMR Detector (WAND) with cylindrical symmetry has been fabricated and non-surgically inserted into a rodent lower digestive track to improve the imaging quality of deep-lying vessels inside the abdominal cavity. This symmetric detector has a compact design using two end-rings and two vertical legs to create two orthogonal resonance modes. Based on the principle of parametric amplification, the detector can harvest wireless pumping power with its end-rings and amplify Magnetic Resonance signals induced on its vertical legs. With good longitudinal and azimuthal homogeneity, the WAND can achieve up to 21-times sensitivity gain over a standard external detector for immediately adjacent regions, and at least 5-times sensitivity gain for regions separated by one diameter away from the detector's cylindrical surface. The WAND can approach the region of interest through the lower digestive track, similar as a colonoscopy detector. But unlike an optical camera, the amplified MR detector can "see" across intestinal boundaries and clearly identify the walls of bifurcated vessels that are susceptible to atherosclerotic lesions. In addition to vascular wall imaging, this detector may also be used as a swallowable capsule to enhance the detection sensitivity of deep-lying organs near the digestive track.
