High Resolution MR Imaging of the Testis Using a Small Radiofrequency Coil.

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.
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
We have developed a new device, consisting of a 3-cm RF coil and an immobilizer, to acquire high-resolution MR images of the testis. With the approval of our institutional review board, we conducted an MRI study on a cohort of healthy volunteers to test this device. With the participants in the supine position, we placed the dedicated immobilizer and RF coil on the scrotum for typically no more than 3 min. Subsequently, T2-weighted images were acquired with an in-plane resolution of 117 µm using a 3-T MR scanner and the periodically rotated overlapping parallel lines with enhanced reconstruction (PROPELLER) sequence. The total scan time ranged from 12 to 30 min (average 20 min). High-resolution MR images of the testis were acquired without deterioration by motion artifacts. Our results showed that the combined use of a small RF coil and an immobilizer is a feasible option for acquiring high-resolution MR images of the testis.
