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

purposeTo describe and implement a strategy for dynamic slice-by-slice and multiband B THEORY: For thin axial slices, spherical harmonic shims can be divided into pairs of shims (z-degenerate and non-z-degenerate) that are spatially degenerate, such that only ½ of the shims (non-z-degenerate) are required for single slice optimizations. However, when combined, the pairs of shims can be used to simultaneously generate the same in-plane symmetries but with different amplitudes as a function of their z location. This enables multiband shimming equivalent to that achievable by single slice-by-slice optimization.

methodsAll data were acquired at 7T using a spherical harmonic shim insert enabling shimming up through 4th order with two additional 5th order shims (1st-4th+). Dynamic shim updating was achieved using a 10A shim power supply with 2 ms ramps and constrained optimizations to minimize eddy currents.

resultsIn groups of eight subjects, we demonstrated that: 1) dynamic updating using 1st-4th+ order shims reduced the SD of the B

conclusionHigh order spherical harmonics provide substantial improvements over static global shimming and enable dynamic multiband shimming with near equivalent performance to that of dynamic slice-by-slice shimming. This reduces distortion in echo planar imaging.
