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 remove the necessity of the tranceive phase assumption for CSI-EPT and show electrical properties maps reconstructed from measured data obtained using a standard 3T birdcage body coil setup.

methodsThe existing CSI-EPT algorithm is reformulated to use the transceive phase rather than relying on the transceive phase assumption. Furthermore, the radio frequency (RF)-shield is numerically implemented to accurately model the RF fields inside the MRI scanner. We verify that the reformulated two-dimensional (2D) CSI-EPT algorithm can reconstruct electrical properties maps given 2D electromagnetic simulations. Afterward, the algorithm is tested with three-dimensional (3D) FDTD simulations to investigate if the 2D CSI-EPT can retrieve the electrical properties for 3D RF fields. Finally, an MR experiment at 3T with a phantom is performed.

resultsFrom the results of the 2D simulations, it is seen that CSI-EPT can reconstruct the electrical properties using MRI accessible quantities. For 3D simulations, it is observed that the electrical properties are underestimated, nonetheless, CSI-EPT has a lower standard deviation than the standard Helmholtz based methods. Finally, the first CSI-EPT reconstructions based on measured data are presented showing comparable accuracy and precision to reconstructions based on simulated data, and demonstrating the feasibility of CSI-EPT.

conclusionsThe CSI-EPT algorithm was rewritten to use MRI accessible quantities. This allows for CSI-EPT to fully exploit the benefits of the higher static magnetic field strengths with a standard quadrature birdcage coil setup.
