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

Magnetic resonance electrical properties tomography (MR-EPT) is a non-invasive measurement technique that derives the electrical properties (EPs, e.g., conductivity or permittivity) of tissues in the radiofrequency range (64 MHz for 1.5 T and 128 MHz for 3 T MR systems). Clinical studies have shown the potential of tissue conductivity as a biomarker. To date, model-based conductivity reconstructions rely on numerical assumptions and approximations, leading to inaccuracies in the reconstructed maps. To address such limitations, we propose an artificial neural network (ANN)-based non-linear conductivity estimator trained on simulated data for conductivity brain imaging. Network training was performed on 201 synthesized T2-weighted spin-echo (SE) data obtained from the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) electromagnetic (EM) simulation. The dataset was composed of an approximated T2-w SE magnitude and transceive phase information. The proposed method was tested three in-silico and in-vivo on two volunteers and three patients' data. For comparison purposes, various conventional phase-based EPT reconstruction methods were used that ignore
