More accurate trabecular bone imaging using UTE MRI at the resonance frequency of fat.
Article in Bone, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
High-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (HR-MRI) has been increasingly used to assess the trabecular bone structure. High susceptibility at the marrow/bone interface may significantly reduce the marrow's apparent transverse relaxation time (T2*), overestimating trabecular bone thickness. Ultrashort echo time MRI (UTE-MRI) can minimize the signal loss caused by susceptibility-induced T2* shortening. However, UTE-MRI is sensitive to chemical shift artifacts, which manifest as spatial blurring and ringing artifacts partially due to non-Cartesian sampling. In this study, we proposed UTE-MRI at the resonance frequency of fat to minimize marrow-related chemical shift artifacts and the overestimation of trabecular thickness. Cubes of trabecular bone from six donors (75 ± 4 years old) were scanned using a 3 T clinical scanner at the resonance frequencies of fat and water, respectively, using 3D UTE sequences with five TEs (0.032, 1.1, 2.2, 3.3, and 4.4 ms) and a clinical 3D gradient echo (GRE) sequence at 0.2 × 0.2 × 0.4 mm
