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 single-slab 3D spiral turbo spin echo (spiral SPACE) for 1-mm

methodsA stack-of-spirals (in-out waveforms) turbo-spin-echo acquisition was implemented with T

resultsPhantom results demonstrated the improved performance of concomitant-field correction via sequence-based modifications and of GIRF-based trajectory estimation. Volunteer data showed that with concomitant-field correction and echo reordering, system imperfection associated image artifacts and blurring were substantially mitigated in spiral SPACE. Compared with Cartesian SPACE, spiral SPACE had an overall 15%-25% signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) improvement in both white matter and gray matter.

conclusionA 3D spiral-in-out SPACE acquisition with variable-flip-angles, concomitant-field compensation, and echo-reordering was demonstrated at 0.55 T, showing promising gains in SNR, compared with Cartesian SPACE.
