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 minimize eddy current artifacts in periodic pulse sequences with balanced gradient moments as, for example, used for quantitative MRI. THEORY AND

methodsEddy current artifacts in balanced sequences result from large jumps in k-space. In quantitative MRI, one often samples some spin dynamics repeatedly while acquiring different parts of k-space. We swap individual k-space lines between different repetitions in order to minimize jumps in temporal succession without changing the overall trajectory. This reordering can be formulated as a traveling salesman problem and we tackle the discrete optimization with a simulated annealing algorithm.

resultsCompared to the default ordering, we observe a substantial reduction of artifacts in the reconstructed images and the derived quantitative parameter maps. Comparing two variants of our algorithm, one that resembles the pairing approach originally proposed by Bieri et al., and one that minimizes all k-space jumps equally, we observe slightly lower artifact levels in the latter.

conclusionThe proposed reordering scheme effectively reduces eddy current artifacts in sequences with balanced gradient moments. In contrast to previous approaches, we capitalize on the periodicity of the sampled signal dynamics, enabling both efficient k-space sampling and minimizing artifacts caused by eddy currents.
