Real-time MRI: a new tool of radiologic imaging in small children.
Review in European journal of pediatrics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Real-time MRI (rt-MRI) in children is a new imaging technique that combines the advantages of US - at frame rates of up to 50 images per second - with the quality and features of MRI. Although still subject of research, it has become a standard tool in the diagnostic portfolio of two pediatric radiology departments in Germany. Based on ultrashort acquisition times, any detrimental effects of macroscopic movements of the child and the physiological movements of the organs are negligible. Especially in pediatric brain imaging, rt-MRI has already proven its value. With suitable indications, rt-MRI can reduce anesthesia and sedation examinations in children below 6 years of age by 40% due to its very short examination time and its robustness to motion. There is a high level of acceptance among parents and referrers when diagnostic possibilities and limitations are communicated correctly.
conclusionCompletely new diagnostic possibilities arise in the imaging of the moving lung, the beating heart, joint movements, and speaking and swallowing, as demonstrated in this video-backed review. WHAT IS KNOWN: • MRI in moving children has been burdened with severe artifacts. • Gross motion usually has to be handled by sedation and periodic motion of the heart and lungs has to be compensated with time-consuming techniques until now. WHAT IS NEW: • Real-time MRI allows image acquisition with up to 50 frames per second similar to ultrasound frame rate. • Real-time MRI proofs to be very promising for imaging children, reducing examination time and sedation rate drastically.
