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 develop a unified deep-learning framework by combining an ultrafast Bloch simulator and a semisolid macromolecular magnetization transfer contrast (MTC) MR fingerprinting (MRF) reconstruction for estimation of MTC effects.

methodsThe Bloch simulator and MRF reconstruction architectures were designed with recurrent neural networks and convolutional neural networks, evaluated with numerical phantoms with known ground truths and cross-linked bovine serum albumin phantoms, and demonstrated in the brain of healthy volunteers at 3 T. In addition, the inherent magnetization-transfer ratio asymmetry effect was evaluated in MTC-MRF, CEST, and relayed nuclear Overhauser enhancement imaging. A test-retest study was performed to evaluate the repeatability of MTC parameters, CEST, and relayed nuclear Overhauser enhancement signals estimated by the unified deep-learning framework.

resultsCompared with a conventional Bloch simulation, the deep Bloch simulator for generation of the MTC-MRF dictionary or a training data set reduced the computation time by 181-fold, without compromising MRF profile accuracy. The recurrent neural network-based MRF reconstruction outperformed existing methods in terms of reconstruction accuracy and noise robustness. Using the proposed MTC-MRF framework for tissue-parameter quantification, the test-retest study showed a high degree of repeatability in which the coefficients of variance were less than 7% for all tissue parameters.

conclusionBloch simulator-driven, deep-learning MTC-MRF can provide robust and repeatable multiple-tissue parameter quantification in a clinically feasible scan time on a 3T scanner.
