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

Investigations of human brain disorders are frequently conducted in rodent models using magnetic resonance imaging. Due to the small specimen size and the increase in signal-to-noise ratio with the static magnetic field strength, dedicated small-bore animal scanners can be used to acquire high-resolution data. Ultra-high-field (≥7 T) whole-body human scanners are increasingly available, and they can also be used for animal investigations. Dedicated sensors, in this case, radiofrequency coils, are required to achieve sufficient sensitivity for the high spatial resolution needed for imaging small anatomical structures. In this work, a four-channel transceiver coil array for rat brain imaging at 7 T is presented, which can be adjusted for use on a wide range of differently sized rats, from infants to large adults. Three suitable array designs (with two to four elements covering the whole rat brain) were compared using full-wave 3D electromagnetic simulation. An optimized static B
