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

purposeTo introduce a new method for generalized RF pulse design using physics-guided self-supervised learning (GPS), which uses the Bloch equations as the guiding physics model. THEORY AND

methodsThe GPS framework consists of a neural network module and a physics module, where the physics module is a Bloch simulator for MRI applications. For RF pulse design, the neural network module maps an input target profile to an RF pulse, which is subsequently loaded into the physics module. Through the supervision of the physics module, the neural network module designs an RF pulse corresponding to the target profile. GPS was applied to design 1D selective,

resultsBoth simulations and experiments show that GPS can design a variety of RF pulses with corresponding profiles that agree well with the target input. Despite these verifications, GPS-designed pulses have unique differences compared to conventional designs, such as achieving

conclusionThis work demonstrates the generalizability, versatility, and flexibility of the GPS method for designing RF pulses and showcases its utility in several applications.
