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

purposeThe purpose of this study was to identify the cause of severe image artifacts that occurred during gantry rotation in a 0.35 T MRI-Linac by comparing measurements of eddy currents, center frequency, and field inhomogeneities made with the gantry in motion and stationary.

methodsGradient and B

resultsSevere image artifacts were observed 22-35% of the time while the gantry was rotating. Short time constant eddy currents were not affected by gantry rotation. The peak to peak center frequency and FWHM rose by factors of 13.2-14.5 and 1.1-1.6, respectively, for the rotating versus stationary gantry. The magnitude of the center frequency offset and field inhomogeneities depended on the direction of the gantry rotation.

conclusionsImage artifacts during gantry rotation were primarily caused by center frequency variations and field inhomogeneities. Therefore, dynamic B
