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 test an MRI coil assembly for imaging deep brain stimulation (DBS) at 3 T with a reduced level of local specific absorption rate of RF fields near the implant.

methodsA mechanical rotatable linearly polarized birdcage transmitter outfitted with a 32-channel receive array was constructed. The coil performance and image quality were systematically evaluated using bench-level measurements and imaging performance tests, including SNR maps, array element noise correlation, and acceleration capabilities. Electromagnetic simulations and phantom experiments were performed with clinically relevant DBS device configurations to evaluate the reduction of specific absorption rate and temperature near the implant compared with a circular polarized body coil setup.

resultsThe linearly polarized birdcage coil features a block-shaped low electric field region to be co-aligned with the implanted DBS lead trajectory, while the close-fit receive array enables imaging with high SNR and enhanced encoding capabilities.

conclusionThe 3T coil assembly, consisting of a rotating linear birdcage and a 32-channel close-fit receive array, showed DBS-conditioned imaging technology with substantially reduced heat generation at the DBS implants.
