An accelerated PETALUTE MRI sequence for in vivo quantification of sodium content in human articular cartilage at 3T.
Trial report in Skeletal radiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveIn this work, we evaluate the sodium magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) capabilities of a three-dimensional (3D) dual-echo ultrashort echo time (UTE) sequence with a novel rosette petal trajectory (PETALUTE), in comparison to the 3D density-adapted (DA) radial spokes UTE sequence in human articular cartilage in the knee. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe scanned five healthy subjects using a 3D dual-echo PETALUTE acquisition and two comparable implementations of 3D DA-radial spokes acquisitions, one matching the number of k-space projections (Radial - Matched Spokes) and the other matching the total number of samples (Radial - Matched Samples) acquired in k-space.
resultsThe PETALUTE acquisition enabled equivalent sodium quantification in articular cartilage volumes of interest (168.8 ± 29.9 mM, mean ± standard deviation) to those derived from the 3D radial acquisitions (171.62 ± 28.7 mM and 149.8 ± 22.2 mM, respectively). We achieved a 41% shorter scan time of 2:06 for 3D PETALUTE, compared to 3:36 for 3D radial acquisitions. We also evaluated the feasibility of further acceleration of the PETALUTE sequence through retrospective compressed sensing with 2 × and 4 × acceleration of the first echo and showed structural similarity of 0.89 ± 0.03 and 0.87 ± 0.03 when compared to non-retrospectively accelerated reconstruction.
conclusionWe demonstrate improved scan time with equivalent performance using a 3D dual-echo PETALUTE sequence compared to the 3D DA-radial sequence for sodium MRI of articular cartilage.
