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

Radio-frequency (RF) coils are to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners what eyes are to the human body. Because of their critical importance, there have been constant innovations driving the rapid development of RF coil technologies. Over the past four decades, the breadth and depth of the RF coil technology evolution have far exceeded the space allowed for this review article. However, these past developments have laid the very foundation on which some of the recent technical breakthroughs are built upon. Here, we narrow our focus on some of the most recent RF coil advances, specifically, on flexible, wireless, and integrated coil arrays. To provide a detailed review, we discuss the theoretical underpinnings, experimental implementations, promising results, as well as future outlooks covering these exciting topics. These recent innovations have greatly improved patient comfort and ease of scan, while also increasing the signal-to-noise ratio, image resolution, temporal throughput, and diagnostic and treatment accuracy. Together with advances in other MRI subfields, they will undoubtedly continue to drive the field forward and lead us to an ever more exciting future. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 5 TECHNICAL EFFICACY: Stage 1.
