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

purposeTo develop a novel framework for rapid, intrinsic head motion measurement in MRI using FID navigators (FIDnavs) from a multichannel head coil array.

methodsFIDnavs encode substantial rigid-body motion information; however, current implementations require patient-specific training with external tracking data to extract quantitative positional changes. In this work, a forward model of FIDnav signals was calibrated using simulated movement of a reference image within a model of the spatial coil sensitivities. A FIDnav module was inserted into a nonselective 3D FLASH sequence, and rigid-body motion parameters were retrospectively estimated every readout time using nonlinear optimization to solve the inverse problem posed by the measured FIDnavs. This approach was tested in simulated data and in 7 volunteers, scanned at 3T with a 32-channel head coil array, performing a series of directed motion paradigms.

resultsFIDnav motion estimates achieved mean absolute errors of 0.34 ± 0.49 mm and 0.52 ± 0.61° across all subjects and scans, relative to ground-truth motion measurements provided by an electromagnetic tracking system. Retrospective correction with FIDnav motion estimates resulted in substantial improvements in quantitative image quality metrics across all scans with intentional head motion.

conclusionsQuantitative rigid-body motion information can be effectively estimated using the proposed FIDnav-based approach, which represents a practical method for retrospective motion compensation in less cooperative patient populations.
