Feasibility of strong diffusion encoding and fast readout using a plug-and-play head gradient insert at 7 T.
Article in Magnetic resonance in medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
purposeDiffusion weighting is achieved by the application of external field gradients typically for tens of milliseconds, during which the signal also substantially decays due to inherent T
methodsA lightweight (45 kg) single-axis gradient coil operating in the z-direction was interfaced with a 7 T system and operated as an additional fourth-gradient axis to the whole-body gradient setup. Several diffusion MRI experiments were conducted to compare acquisitions taken with a gradient insert operating at full capacity (200 mT/m and 1300 T/m/s) to those using conventional gradient strengths (40-80 mT/m and 200 T/m/s).
resultsA shorter TE of (28.8, 32.4, 38.5, 48.7) ms was achieved using the insert gradient at full capability for readout and diffusion encoding, compared to (49.7, 54.5, 65.9, 85.5) ms (80 mT/m) or (59.9, 68.8, 88.3, 120.9) ms (40 mT/m) for b = (0, 500, 1000, 3000, 10 000) s/mm
conclusionThe results illustrate a successful proof-of-concept for performing diffusion MRI using a plug-and-play head gradient insert at 7 T. Use of low-cost gradient inserts could make advanced diffusion MRI experiments more widely available.
