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

Phantom objects are commonly employed in MRI systems as stable substitutes for biological tissues to ensure systems for measuring images are operating correctly and safely. For magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (MREIT) and magnetic resonance electrical property tomography (MREPT), conductivity or permittivity phantoms play an important role in checking MRI pulse sequences, MREIT equipment performance, and algorithm validation. The construction of these phantoms is explained in this chapter. In the first part, materials used for phantom construction are introduced. Ingredients for modifying the electromagnetic properties and relaxation times are presented, and the advantages and disadvantages of aqueous, gel, and hybrid conductivity phantoms are explained. The devices and methods used to confirm phantom electromagnetic properties are explained. Next, different types of MREIT electrode materials and the constant current sources used for MREIT studies are discussed. In the last section, we present the results of previous MREIT and MREPT studies.
