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

purposeAn "RF-penetrable" PET insert that allows the MR body coil to be used for RF transmission was developed to make it easier for an existing MR center to achieve simultaneous PET/MRI. This study focuses on experiments and analyses to study PET/RF coil configurations for simultaneous PET/MR studies.

methodsTo investigate the appropriate RF coil design, a transmit/receive (TX/RX) birdcage coil and an RX-only phased-array coil (TX from body coil), both fitting inside the PET ring were built and characterized. For MR performance evaluation, B

resultsWhen using the RX-only phased-array coil (TX from body coil), compared with the TX/RX birdcage coil, the B

conclusionRF coil configurations for an RF-penetrable PET insert for simultaneous PET/MRI were studied. The RX-only phased-array coil (TX from body coil) outperformed the TX/RX birdcage coil with improved MR performance as well as negligible PET photon attenuation.
