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

purposeWe aim to develop a robust 4D MRI method for large FOVs enabling the extraction of irregular respiratory motion that is readily usable with all MRI machines and thus applicable to support a wide range of interventional settings.

methodWe propose a 4D MRI reconstruction method to capture an arbitrary number of breathing states. It uses template updates in navigator slices and search regions for fast and robust vessel cross-section tracking. It captures FOVs of 255 mm x 320 mm x 228 mm at a spatial resolution of 1.82 mm x 1.82 mm x 4mm and temporal resolution of 200ms. A total of 37 4D MRIs of 13 healthy subjects were reconstructed to validate the method. A quantitative evaluation of the reconstruction rate and speed of both the new and baseline method was performed. Additionally, a study with ten radiologists was conducted to assess the subjective reconstruction quality of both methods.

resultsOur results indicate improved mean reconstruction rates compared to the baseline method (79.4% vs. 45.5%) and improved mean reconstruction times (24s vs. 73s) per subject. Interventional radiologists perceive the reconstruction quality of our method as higher compared to the baseline (262.5 points vs. 217.5 points, p = 0.02).

conclusionsTemplate updates are an effective and efficient way to increase 4D MRI reconstruction rates and to achieve better reconstruction quality. Search regions reduce reconstruction time. These improvements increase the applicability of 4D MRI as a base for seamless support of interventional image guidance in percutaneous interventions.
