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

purposeTo develop an radiofrequency (RF) shimming approach for operating the 2nd Generation Tic Tac Toe RF coil system (60 transmit channels integrated with 32-channel receive insert) for routine use in 7T neuro MRI on the single transmit mode.

methodsRF simulations were performed and used to develop non-subject-specific RF shim cases over three anatomically detailed head models: adult male, adult female, and child female. Multi-ROI shimming strategies were developed and implemented.

resultsThe availability of 60 transmit channels enables more control over

conclusionBy using a non-subject specific RF shimming approach derived from computer simulations, the 2nd generation Tic Tac Toe RF coil system allows for robust, routine neuroimaging (>1750 in vivo scanning sessions over the past 28 months) at 7T in single transmit mode.
