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

objectivesTo compare accelerated real-time cardiac MRI (CMR) using sparse spatial and temporal undersampling and non-linear iterative SENSE reconstruction (RT IS SENSE) with real-time CMR (RT) and segmented CMR (SEG) in a cohort that included atrial fibrillation (AF) patients.

methodsWe evaluated 27 subjects, including 11 AF patients, by acquiring steady-state free precession cine images covering the left ventricle (LV) at 1.5 T with SEG (acceleration factor 2, TR 42 ms, 1.8 × 1.8 × 6 mm

resultsThere was no difference between LV functional parameters between acquisitions in SR patients. RT IS SENSE short-axis image quality was superior to SEG (4.5 ± 0.6 vs. 3.9 ± 1.1, p = 0.007) and RT (3.8 ± 0.4, p = 0.003). There was reduced artefact in RT IS SENSE compared to SEG (4.4 ± 0.6 vs. 3.8 ± 1.2, p = 0.04), driven by arrhythmia performance. RT IS SENSE short-axis image quality was superior to SEG (4.6 ± 0.5 vs. 3.1 ± 1.0, p < 0.001) in the AF subgroup.

conclusionAccelerated real-time CMR with iterative sparse SENSE provides excellent clinical performance, especially in patients with AF. KEY POINTS: • Iterative sparse SENSE significantly accelerates real-time cardiovascular MRI acquisitions. • It provides excellent qualitative and quantitative performance in sinus rhythm patients. • It outperforms standard segmented acquisitions in patients with atrial fibrillation. • It improves the trade-off between temporal and spatial resolution in real-time imaging.
