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

We present the first in vivo images of anisotropic conductivity distribution in the human head, measured at a frequency of approximately 10 Hz. We used magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography techniques to encode phase changes caused by current flow within the head via two independent electrode pairs. These results were then combined with diffusion tensor imaging data to reconstruct full anisotropic conductivity distributions in 5-mm-thick slices of the brains of two participants. Conductivity values recovered in this paper were broadly consistent with literature values. We anticipate that this technique will be of use in many areas of neuroscience, most importantly in functional imaging via inverse electroencephalogram. Future studies will involve pulse sequence acceleration to maximize brain coverage and resolution.
