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

backgroundMagnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) could provide joint T1, T2, and proton density mapping. Measuring diffusion encoding using the MRF framework is promising, given its capacity to generate self-aligned quantitative maps and contrast-weighted images from a single scan. It could avoid potential errors that arise from the registration of multiple MRI images and reduce the total scan time. However, the application of a strong diffusion gradient on the MRF sequence results in phase inconsistency between acquisitions, which could corrupt the reconstructed images. PURPOSE: To propose a distortion-free diffusion-weighted imaging module for MRF (DWI-MRF) method using a self-navigated subspace reconstruction on k-space data obtained from a dual-density spiral trajectory.

methodsThe proposed sequence consisted of two segments: inversion prepared steady-state free precession MRF for the first 800 time points and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) with two nominal b-values of 0 and 800 s/mm

resultsOur method's T1, T2, and ADC values agreed reasonably with the reference values, with a slope of 0.88, 0.94, and 1.04 for T1, T2, and ADC, and an R

conclusionsThe proposed method was free of artifacts from cardiac pulsation and generated pixel-wise correspondent T1, T2, and ADC maps on both phantom and in vivo images.
