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
Background: Cardiac T2 mapping is a valuable tool for diagnosing myocardial edema, inflammation, and infiltration, yet its spatial resolution is limited by the single-shot balanced steady-state free precession acquisition and duration of the cardiac quiescent period, which may reduce sensitivity in detecting focal lesions in the myocardium. To improve spatial resolution without extending the acquisition window, this study examined a novel accelerated Cartesian cardiac T2 mapping technique. Methods: We introduce a novel improved-resolution cardiac T2 mapping approach leveraging a calibrationless space-contrast-coil locally low-rank tensor (SCC-LLRT)-constrained reconstruction algorithm in conjunction with Cartesian undersampling trajectory. The method was validated with phantom imaging and Results: In healthy participants, SCC-LLRT significantly reduced artifacts (4.50±0.39) compared with LLR (2.31±0.60; P<0.001) and NLINV (3.65±0.56; P<0.01), suppressed noise (4.12±0.35) compared with NLINV (2.65±0.50; P<0.001), and improved the overall image quality (4.38±0.40) compared with LLR (2.54±0.41; P<0.001) and NLINV (3.04±0.50; P<0.001). Compared with the regular-resolution T2 mapping, the proposed method significantly improved the sharpness of myocardial boundaries (4.46±0.60 Conclusions: The proposed SCC-LLRT-constrained reconstruction algorithm in conjunction with Cartesian undersampling pattern achieved improved-resolution cardiac T2 mapping of comparable accuracy, precision, and scan-rescan reproducibility compared with the regular-resolution T2 mapping. The higher resolution improved the sharpness of myocardial borders and the conspicuity of image fine details, which may increase diagnostic confidence in cardiac T2 mapping for detecting small lesions.
