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 extend the double echo steady-state (DESS) sequence to enable chemical-shift corrected water-fat separation.

methodsThis study proposes multiple-echo steady-state (MESS), a sequence that modifies the readouts of the DESS sequence to acquire two echoes each with bipolar readout gradients with higher readout bandwidth. This enables water-fat separation and eliminates the need for water-selective excitation that is often used in combination with DESS, without increasing scan time. An iterative fitting approach was used to perform joint chemical-shift corrected water-fat separation and T

resultsThe water-fat separation provided by MESS was robust and with quality comparable to water-selective DESS. MESS T

conclusionIn the same acquisition time as DESS, MESS provides water-fat separation with comparable SNR in the reconstructed water and fat images. By providing additional image contrasts in addition to the water-selective DESS images, MESS provides a promising alternative to DESS.
