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
Clinical research groups rarely have easy access to dedicated animal Magnetic Resonance (MR) systems. For this reason, dedicated hardware has to be developed to optimize small animal imaging on clinical scanners. In MR systems, radiofrequency (RF) coils are key components in the acquisition process of the MR signal, and the design of hand-crafted, organ-specific RF coils can be a constraint in many research projects. Accurate design and simulation processes enable the optimization of RF coil performance for a given application by avoiding trial-and-error approaches. This paper describes the full-wave simulation of a solenoidal coil for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. Such a simulator enables the estimation of the coil's magnetic field pattern in a loaded condition, the coil inductance, and the sample-induced resistance. The resulting accuracy is verified with data acquired with a solenoid prototype designed for small animal experiments with a 3T MRI clinical scanner.
