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 shortened radio frequency wavelength in high field MRI makes it challenging to create a uniform excitation pattern over a large field of view, or to achieve satisfactory transmission efficiency at a local area. Transmit arrays are one tool that can be used to create a desired excitation pattern. To be effective, it is important to be able to control the current amplitude and phase at the array elements. The control of the current may get complicated by the coil coupling in many applications. Various methods have been proposed to achieve current control, either in the presence of coupling, or by effectively decouple the array elements. These methods are applied in different subsystems in the RF transmission chain: coil; coil-amplifier interface; amplifier, etc. In this review paper, we provide an overview of the various approaches and aspects of transmit current control and decoupling.
