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 develop and evaluate a highly efficient free-breathing and contrast-agent-free three-dimensional (3D) whole-heart Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Angiography (CMRA) sequence at 0.55T.

methodsFree-breathing whole-heart CMRA has been previously proposed at 1.5 and 3T. Direct application of this sequence to 0.55T is not possible due to changes in the magnetic properties of the tissues. To enable free-breathing CMRA at 0.55T, pulse sequence design and acquisition parameters of a previously proposed whole-heart CMRA framework are optimized via Bloch simulations. Image navigators (iNAVs) are used to enable nonrigid respiratory motion-correction and 100% respiratory scan efficiency. Patch-based low-rank denoising is employed to accelerate the scan and account for the reduced signal-to-noise ratio at 0.55T. The proposed approach was evaluated on 11 healthy subjects. Image quality was assessed by a clinical expert (1: poor to 5: excellent) for all intrapericardiac structures. Quantitative evaluation was performed by assessing the vessel sharpness of the proximal right coronary artery (RCA).

resultsOptimization resulted in an imaging flip angle of

conclusionThe proposed approach enables 3D whole-heart CMRA at 0.55T in a 6-min scan (
