A mask method to assess the uniformity of fat suppression in phantom studies.
Article in Radiological physics and technology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Fat suppression is a technique used to suppress the signals from adipose tissues, during clinical evaluation of the tissues near the fat-tissue boundary. However, in cases where the scan area has a complicated shape, the effect of fat suppression may demonstrate poor uniformity, resulting in diagnosis-related difficulties. To improve the uniformity of fat suppression, phantom studies are more suitable than volunteer studies. In this study, we evaluated the reliability of the region of interest (ROI) dependency using an unevenness phantom, to develop a method to assess the uniformity of fat suppression while using whole magnetic resonance imaging by masking the surrounding phantom. We modulated different ROI sizes, which were eroded from 100% to approximately 50%, and observed that the normalized absolute average deviation and error increased with decreased ROI. Using our method, more objective, concrete, and accurate data could be obtained by including the whole-body phantom (whole poor uniformity area).
