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

purposeThe robust and reliable utilization of proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) at high fields is hampered by several key technical difficulties, including contamination from extracranial lipids. To that end, this work presents novel lipid suppression sequences for proton MRSI in the human brain utilizing elliptical localization with pulsed second-order fields (ECLIPSE).

methodsTwo lipid suppression methods were implemented with the ECLIPSE gradient insert. One method is a variable power, 4-pulse sequence optimized to achieve outer volume suppression (OVS) and compared against a standard, 8-slice OVS method. The second ECLIPSE method is implemented as an inversion recovery (IR) sequence with elliptical inner volume selection (IVS) and compared against a global IR method.

resultsThe ECLIPSE-OVS sequence provided a 116-fold mean lipid suppression (range, 104-134), whereas an optimized 8-slice OVS sequence achieved 15-fold suppression (range, 13-18). Furthermore, the superior ECLIPSE-OVS suppression was achieved at 30% of the radiofrequency (RF) power required by 8-slice OVS. The ECLIPSE-based IR sequence suppressed skull lipids by 155-fold (range, 122-257), compared to 16-fold suppression (range, 14-19) achieved with IR.

conclusionOVS and IVS executed with ECLIPSE provide robust and effective lipid suppression at reduced RF power with high immunity to variations in B
