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 a low-cost, high-performance, versatile, open-source console for low-field MRI applications that can integrate a multitude of different auxiliary sensors.

methodsA new MR console was realized with four transmission and eight reception channels. The interface cards for signal transmission and reception are installed in PCI Express slots, allowing console integration in a commercial PC rack. Following standards developed by the MRI community, we implemented an open-source console software package with native Pulseq and ISMRM raw data support. It is implemented in Python to allow easy customization and provide the flexible use of a freely configurable number of transmit and receive channels. We benchmarked the system by comparing the imaging quality with a state-of-the-art reference system. Different examples of how auxiliary sensors, connected via additional channels, can improve imaging are demonstrated.

resultsUsing a three-dimensional turbo spin-echo sequence, image quality of proton density-weighted and T

conclusionOur console offers high versatility in terms of data acquisition, is freely configurable, adheres to open-source data standards, and is easy to customize. It yields a similar image quality compared with a commercially available reference system yet is substantially lower cost and open source.
