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

The paper describes the evolution of low-field MRI from the very early pioneering days in the late 70 s until today. It is not meant to give a comprehensive historical account of the development of MRI, but rather to highlight the different research environments then and now. In the early 90 s, when low-field systems below 1.5 T essentially vanished, there were just no reasonable means available to make up for the factor of roughly three in signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) between 0.5 and 1.5 T. This has drastically changed. Improvements in hardware-closed Helium-free magnets, RF receiver systems and especially much faster gradients, much more flexible sampling schemes including parallel imaging and compressed sensing and especially the use of AI at all stages of the imaging process have made low-field MRI a clinically viable supplement to conventional MRI. Ultralow-field MRI with magnets around 0.05 T are also back and constitute a bold and courageous endeavor to bring MRI to communities, which have neither the means nor the infrastructure to sustain a current standard of care MRI.
