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

Recent advancements in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques are promising for the detection of fetal abnormalities, and MRI may supplement or replace prenatal ultrasound scans in the future. In particular, the interest of scientific and medical communities in high-field (3T) MRI continues to grow due to its improved contrast-to-noise and signal-to-noise ratios compared to clinical MRI of lower field strength (1.5T). However, 3T MRI shows more prominent dielectric artifacts due to constructive and destructive interference of standing waves inside the body at these frequencies. Here, we present a concept of passive radiofrequency shimming using metasurface-based pads to improve image quality in fetal MRI at 3T. The proposed metasurface increases the efficiency and homogeneity of the radiofrequency magnetic field, reducing dielectric artifacts in the fetal body and brain images. We offer an ultralight and compact passive way to improve 3T imaging of fetal brain and body structures, simplifying clinical workflows and decreasing the procedure time.
