Analysis of coil element distribution and dimension for matrix gradient coils.
Article in Magma (New York, N.Y.), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveThe goal of this work is to analyze the influence of the distributions and dimensions of the coil elements and to present a method for improving the performance of the matrix gradient coil.
methodsThree typical models (five structures in total) are presented, and a double-layer biplanar matrix gradient coil is used to install coil elements. Two metrics, namely, the role of coil elements and mutual inductance between coil elements, are proposed to assess the performance of coil systems. An optimization approach to design matrix gradient coils is introduced based on analyzing the distributions and dimensions of coil elements. The flexibility of the magnetic field generation of the designed coil structure is demonstrated by generating full third-order spherical harmonic fields and different oblique gradient fields.
resultsMatrix gradient coils with suitable distributions are capable of generating target magnetic fields. The role of coil elements quantitatively illustrates that the coil elements have different impacts on generating magnetic fields. Increasing the coil element dimension within a certain range can reduce the mutual inductance between coil elements and improve the performance of the coil system. The designed novel double-layer biplanar matrix gradient coil achieves an acceptable performance in generating different magnetic fields.
conclusionsThe proposed metrics can provide theoretical support for designing matrix gradient coils and evaluating their performance. The role of coil elements contributes to analyzing the distributions of coil elements to decrease the number of coil elements and power amplifiers. The mutual inductance between coil elements can be a reference for designing the dimensions of coil elements.
