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

Background: Establishing an efficient workflow is crucial for the success of magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) procedures. The current study provides a comprehensive description of the workflow of a customized MRgFUS robotic body device for preclinical use and accompanied software through experiments in excised porcine tissue. Methods: The employed system comprises a single-element spherically focused transducer of 2.6 MHz that can be moved along four PC-controlled axes. A detailed description of essential software functionalities and its integration with a 3T Siemens magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner through Access-I for interactive remote control of the scanner and real-time access to imaging data is provided. Following treatment planning on preoperative MR images, porcine tissue samples were sonicated in rectangular and irregular grid patterns with varying ultrasonic parameters and spatial step under software-based monitoring. Results: MRgFUS ablations of Conclusion: Overall, the study highlights critical aspects in accurately planning and executing preclinical MRgFUS protocols within an efficient workflow. The provided data could serve as the basis for other researchers in the field.
