Self-calibrated through-time spiral GRAPPA for real-time, free-breathing evaluation of left ventricular function.
Article in Magnetic resonance in medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposeThrough-time spiral GRAPPA is a real-time imaging technique that enables ungated, free-breathing evaluation of the left ventricle. However, it requires a separate fully-sampled calibration scan to calculate GRAPPA weights. A self-calibrated through-time spiral GRAPPA method is proposed that uses a specially designed spiral trajectory with interleaved arm ordering such that consecutive undersampled frames can be merged to form calibration data, eliminating the separate fully-sampled acquisition. THEORY AND
methodsThe proposed method considers the time needed to acquire data at all points in a GRAPPA calibration kernel when using interleaved arm ordering. Using this metric, simulations were performed to design a spiral trajectory for self-calibrated GRAPPA. Data were acquired in healthy volunteers using the proposed method and a comparison electrocardiogram-gated and breath-held cine scan. Left ventricular functional values and image quality are compared.
resultsA 12-arm spiral trajectory was designed with a temporal resolution of 32.72 ms/cardiac phase with an acceleration factor of 3. Functional values calculated using the proposed method and the gold-standard method were not statistically significantly different (paired t-test, p < 0.05). Image quality ratings were lower for the proposed method, with statistically significantly different ratings (Wilcoxon signed rank test, p < 0.05) for two of five image quality aspects rated (level of artifact, blood-myocardium contrast).
conclusionsA self-calibrated through-time spiral GRAPPA reconstruction can enable ungated, free-breathing evaluation of the left ventricle in 71 s. Functional values are equivalent to a gold-standard cine technique, although some aspects of image quality may be inferior due to the real-time nature of the data collection.
