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 investigate safe limits for neonatal imaging using a 7T head coil, including both specific absorption rate (SAR) and temperature predictions.

methodsHead-centered neonate models were simulated using finite-difference time domain-based electromagnetic and thermal solvers. The effects of higher water content of neonatal tissues compared with adults, position shifts, and thermal insulation were also considered. An adult model was simulated for comparison.

resultsMaximum and average SAR are both elevated in the neonate when compared with an adult model. When normalized to

conclusionThis study of two neonate models cannot quantify the variability expected within a larger population. Likewise, the use of age-adjusted dielectric properties have a significant effect, but while their use is well motivated by literature, there is uncertainty in the true dielectric properties of neonatal tissue. Nevertheless, the main finding is that unlike at lower field strengths, operational limits for 7T neonatal MRI using an adult head coil should be more conservative than limits for use on adults.
