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

Motivation: Low-field MRI has garnered significant attention in recent years due to its unique advantages in safety, cost-effectiveness and accessibility. However, lower field strength comes with an inherently lower SNR as its primary limitation. Goals: In this work, we introduce a novel volume RF coil design using coupled stack-up resonators to mitigate this challenge. Approach: To demonstrate the proposed design, we take 0.5T as an example field strength and designed a prototype coupled stack-up volume coil operating in the 20MHz range. Results: Compared to the birdcage coil, the proposed design significantly improves RF field efficiency and homogeneity, ultimately enhancing the performance of low-field MRI. Impact: The proposed stack-up volume coil outperforms the standard birdcage coil in B1 efficiency and field homogeneity at low fields, ultimately improving the performance of low-field MRI and advancing its applications.
