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 demonstrate the capability of insertable inductively coupled volumetric coils for MR microscopy in a human 7T MR system.

methodsInsertable inductively coupled volume coils with diameters of 26 and 64 mm (D26 and D64 coils) targeted for monkey and mouse brain specimen sizes were designed and fabricated. These coils were placed inside the imaging volume of a transmit/receive knee coil without wired connections to the main system. Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) evaluations were conducted with and without the insertable coils, and the g-factor maps of parallel imaging (PI) were also calculated for the D64 coil. Brain specimens were imaged using 3D

resultsRelative average (SD) SNRs compared with knee coil alone were 12.54 (0.30) and 2.37 (0.05) at the center for the D26 and D64 coils, respectively. The mean g-factors of PI with the D64 coil for the factor of 2 were less than 1.1 in the left-right and anterior-posterior directions, and around 1.5 in the superior-inferior direction or when the PI factor of 3 was used. Acceleration in two directions showed lower g-factors but suffered from intrinsic low SNR. Representative

conclusionInductively coupled small diameter coils insertable to the knee coil demonstrated high SNR and modest PI capability. The concept was successfully used to visualize fine structures of the brain specimen. The insertable coils are easy to handle and enable MR microscopy in a human whole-body 7T MRI system.
