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

objectivesAcceleration of MR sequences beyond current parallel imaging techniques is possible with the Compressed SENSE technique that has recently become available for 1.5 and 3 Tesla scanners, for nearly all image contrasts and for 2D and 3D sequences. The impact of this technique on examination timing parameters and MR protocols in a clinical setting was investigated in this retrospective study. MATERIAL AND

methodsA numerical analysis of the examination timing parameters (scan time, exam time, procedure time, interscan delay time, changeover time, nonscan time) based on the MR protocols of 6 different body regions (brain, knee, lumbar spine, breast, shoulder) using MR log files was performed and the total number of examinations acquired from January to April both in 2017 and 2018 on a 1.5 T MR scanner was registered. Percentages, box plots and unpaired two-sided t tests were obtained for statistical evaluation.

resultsAll examination timing parameters of the six anatomical regions analysed were significantly shortened after implementation of Compressed SENSE. On average, scan times were accelerated by 20.2% (p<0.0001) while procedure times were shortened by 16% (p<0.0001). Considering all anatomical regions and all MR protocols, 27% more examinations were performed over the same 4 month period in 2018 compared to 2017.

conclusionCompressed SENSE allows for a significant acceleration of MR examinations and a considerable increase in the total number of MR examinations is possible.
