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

Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) limits the acquisition rate of Magnetic Resonance Imaging data for fast sequences employing powerful gradient systems. The PNS characteristics are currently assessed after the coil design phase in experimental stimulation studies using constructed coil prototypes. This makes it difficult to find design modifications that can reduce PNS. Here, we demonstrate a direct approach for incorporation of PNS effects into the coil optimization process. Knowledge about the interactions between the applied magnetic fields and peripheral nerves allows the optimizer to identify coil solutions that minimize PNS while satisfying the traditional engineering constraints. We compare the simulated thresholds of PNS-optimized body and head gradients to conventional designs, and find an up to 2-fold reduction in PNS propensity with moderate penalties in coil inductance and field linearity, potentially doubling the image encoding performance that can be safely used in humans. The same framework may be useful in designing and operating magneto- and electro-stimulation devices.
