Rapid development of application-specific flexible MRI receive coils.
Article in Physics in medicine and biology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Over the last 30 years, there have been dramatic changes in phased array coil technology leading to increasing channel density and parallel imaging functionality. Current receiver array coils are rigid and often mismatched to patient's size. Recently there has been a move towards flexible coil technology, which is more conformal to the human anatomy. Despite the advances of so-called flexible surface coil arrays, these coils are still relatively rigid and limited in terms of design conformability, compromising signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for flexibility, and are not designed for optimum parallel imaging performance. The purpose of this study is to report on the development and characterization of a 15-channel flexible foot and ankle coil, rapidly designed and constructed using highly decoupled radio-frequency (RF) coil elements. Coil performance was evaluated by performing SNR and g-factor measurements. In vivo testing was performed in a healthy volunteer using both the 15-channel coil and a commercially available 8-channel foot coil. The highly decoupled elements used in this design allow for extremely rapid development and prototyping of application-specific coils for different patient sizes (adult vs child) with minimal additional design consideration in terms of coil overlap and geometry. Image quality was comparable to a commercially available RF coil.
