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
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) simulation differs from diagnostic MRI in purpose, technical requirements, and implementation. We propose a semiautomatic method for image acceptance and commissioning for the scanner, the radiofrequency (RF) coils, and pulse sequences for an MRI simulator. The ACR MRI accreditation large phantom was used for image quality analysis with seven parameters. Standard ACR sequences with a split head coil were adopted to examine the scanner's basic performance. The performance of simulation RF coils were measured and compared using the standard sequence with different clinical diagnostic coils. We used simulation sequences with simulation coils to test the quality of image and advanced performance of the scanner. Codes and procedures were developed for semiautomatic image quality analysis. When using standard ACR sequences with a split head coil, image quality passed all ACR recommended criteria. The image intensity uniformity with a simulation RF coil decreased about 34% compared with the eight-channel diagnostic head coil, while the other six image quality parameters were acceptable. Those two image quality parameters could be improved to more than 85% by built-in intensity calibration methods. In the simulation sequences test, the contrast resolution was sensitive to the FOV and matrix settings. The geometric distortion of simulation sequences such as T1-weighted and T2-weighted images was well-controlled in the isocenter and 10 cm off-center within a range of ±1% (2 mm). We developed a semiautomatic image quality analysis method for quantitative evaluation of images and commissioning of an MRI simulator. The baseline performances of simulation RF coils and pulse sequences have been established for routine QA.
