Renal imaging at 5 T versus 3 T: a comparison study.
Article in Insights into imaging, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers.
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
backgroundRecently, a whole-body 5 T MRI scanner was developed to open the door of abdominal imaging at high-field strength. This prospective study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of renal imaging at 5 T and compare the image quality, potential artifacts, and contrast ratios with 3 T.
methodsForty healthy volunteers underwent MRI examination both at 3 T and 5 T. MRI sequences included T1-weighted gradient-echo (GRE), T2-weighted fast spin echo, diffusion-weighted imaging, and multi-echo GRE T2* mapping. Image quality and presence of artifacts were assessed for all sequences using four-point scales. For anatomical imaging, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and contrast ratio (CR) of abdomen organ tissues were calculated. Besides, for functional imaging, the contrast-to-noise ratio of cortex/medulla was calculated. Wilcoxon signed rank-sum test was used to compare the visual evaluation scores and quantitative measurements between 3 and 5 T images.
resultsCompared to 3 T examination, T1-weighted sequence at 5 T showed significantly better image quality with higher conspicuity of the renal veins and arteries, and comparable artifacts. Image quality was comparable between both field strengths on T2-weighted images, whereas a significantly higher level of artifacts was observed at 5 T. Besides, 5 T MRI contributed to higher SNR and CR for abdomen organ tissues. For functional imaging, 5 T MRI showed improved corticomedullar discrimination. There was no significant difference between apparent diffusion coefficient of renal at 3 T and 5 T, while 5 T MRI resulted in significantly shorter T2* values in both cortex and medulla.
conclusions5 T MRI provides anatomical and functional images of the kidney with sufficient image quality.
