"Push-button" noncontrast MR angiography using balanced T
Article in Magnetic resonance in medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purposeWe introduce a MR imaging technique, balanced T
methodsbT1RESS used a fast interrupted steady-state readout with a 45° cslab-selective ontrast-modifying RF pulse applied at 262 msec intervals. A series of 16.4-mm thick overlapping 3D volumes was acquired using a radial stack-of-stars k-space trajectory. The combination of slice oversampling, slab overlap, and averaging of edge slices was helpful to reduce venetian blind artifact. Spatial resolution was near isotropic with reconstructed slice thickness = 0.7 mm and in-plane resolution = 0.5 mm.
resultsPilot studies in the peripheral arteries demonstrated improved vessel sharpness compared with cardiac-gated quiescent interval slice-selective noncontrast MR angiography. bT1RESS noncontrast MR angiography reliably identified stenotic and occlusive arterial disease in a small cohort of patients with peripheral artery disease.
conclusionsbT1RESS provides the basis for a simplified, completely "push button" approach for noncontrast MR angiography that obviates the need for contrast agents, electrocardiographic gating, scout imaging, breath holding, or tailoring of imaging parameters for the individual patient. Further work is needed for technical optimization and clinical validation.
