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

purposeTo substantially shorten the acquisition time required for quantitative three-dimensional (3D) chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) and semisolid magnetization transfer (MT) imaging and allow for rapid chemical exchange parameter map reconstruction.

methodsThree-dimensional CEST and MT magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) datasets of L-arginine phantoms, whole-brains, and calf muscles from healthy volunteers, cancer patients, and cardiac patients were acquired using 3T clinical scanners at three different sites, using three different scanner models and coils. A saturation transfer-oriented generative adversarial network (GAN-ST) supervised framework was then designed and trained to learn the mapping from a reduced input data space to the quantitative exchange parameter space, while preserving perceptual and quantitative content.

resultsThe GAN-ST 3D acquisition time was 42-52 s, 70% shorter than CEST-MRF. The quantitative reconstruction of the entire brain took 0.8 s. An excellent agreement was observed between the ground truth and GAN-based L-arginine concentration and pH values (Pearson's r > 0.95, ICC > 0.88, NRMSE < 3%). GAN-ST images from a brain-tumor subject yielded a semi-solid volume fraction and exchange rate NRMSE of

conclusionGAN-ST can substantially reduce the acquisition time for quantitative semi-solid MT/CEST mapping, while retaining performance even when facing pathologies and scanner models that were not available during training.
