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: Gibbs artifacts frequently occur as a result of truncation in the frequency domain (k-space). Gibbs artifacts can degrade image quality and may be misinterpreted as syrinx, thereby complicating the diagnosis. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a robust deep learning (DL) model that eliminates multi-frequency Gibbs artifacts. Methods: We retrospectively collected 290,940 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images from 4,936 scans, encompassing 5 anatomical regions and 67 MRI sequences, to develop a DL model for Gibbs artifact removal. This model was trained using artificially generated Gibbs artifacts, featuring various truncation ratios as input data, and its performance in artifact removal was evaluated across different anatomical regions, MRI sequences, and levels of Gibbs artifact severity. For external validation, we prospectively collected data from 20 healthy adults and 10 syrinx patients, comparing radiologists' diagnostic accuracy with area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUC) on images before and after artifact removal to assess the model's impact on syrinx diagnosis. Results: The images processed by our model demonstrated a statistically significantly higher image quality score than the original images and those processed by conventional filtering algorithms (all P<0.05). Moreover, the model enables greater confidence in identifying syrinx compared to the original images [AUC: 0.95, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.92-0.99] versus 0.90 (95% CI: 0.86-0.95) (P=0.04). Conclusions: The model demonstrates excellent performance and robustness in eliminating Gibbs artifacts and may hold the potential for improving syrinx identification.
