Magnetic Resonance Acoustic Radiation Force Imaging (MR-ARFI).
Review in Journal of magnetic resonance imaging : JMRI, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
This review covers the theoretical background, pulse sequence considerations, practical implementations, and multitudes of applications of magnetic resonance acoustic radiation force imaging (MR-ARFI) described to date. MR-ARFI is an approach to encode tissue displacement caused by the acoustic radiation force of a focused ultrasound field into the phase of a MR image. The displacement encoding is done with motion encoding gradients (MEG) which have traditionally been added to spin echo-type and gradient recalled echo-type pulse sequences. Many different types of MEG (monopolar, bipolar, tripolar etc.) have been described and pros and cons are discussed. We further review studies investigating the safety of MR-ARFI, as well as approaches to simulate the MR-ARFI displacement. Lastly, MR-ARFI applications such as for focal spot localization, tissue stiffness interrogation following thermal ablation, trans-skull aberration correction, and simultaneous MR-ARFI and MR thermometry are discussed. EVIDENCE LEVEL: N/A TECHNICAL EFFICACY: Stage 1.
