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

This study outlines the design, construction and characterization of a tailored low-cost linear birdcage (BC) resonator for magnetic resonance imaging at 7T. Typically, different BC designs found in literature are well described in theory but lack crucial information for practical realization. This is challenging, as theoretical and practical aspects often differ greatly from each other, especially in the field of high frequency technology. We propose a simple and open-source 3D printable design which results in a working BC if the instructions in this publication are followed. The aim is to open up the possibility of building a functioning BC with simple means and a budget below 750 €, even for users without a great deal of expertise in MRI coil building. We demonstrate that the BC can achieve a good
