7T MRI in the evaluation of ischemic stroke: a systematic review.
Review in Frontiers in neuroscience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Introduction: 7T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has advanced in managing neurological and neurovascular diseases. With improved spatial resolution and signal-to-noise ratio, 7T MRI enhances spatial and functional imaging, benefiting ischemic stroke diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment planning. Methods: To highlight the advances made with ultra-high field MRI in the evaluation of ischemic stroke patients, a systematic review was conducted on the MEDLINE and Web of Science databases using PRISMA guidelines to find peer-reviewed articles from January 1, 1992, to September 1st, 2024. Search terms included "ischemic stroke," "7T," "ultra-high field," "vessel," "angiography," and "MRI." Studies on 7T MRI in adult ischemic stroke patients were included; exclusions were non-human, post-mortem, or pediatric studies. Results: We identified 16 studies on the use of 7T MRI for prolonged periods after stroke symptom onset, highlighting its higher spatial resolution for depicting ischemic lesions and vascular imaging. Vessel wall imaging (VWI) at 7T was effective for assessing vascular alterations post-thrombectomy and evaluating atherosclerotic lesions, with notable applications in identifying culprit plaques and studying glutamate metabolism changes. Conclusion: 7T MRI advancements open new perspectives for clinical applications and research, particularly in evaluating the impact of thrombectomy strategies and developing treatments to prevent stroke recurrence. Continued research and protocol validation are essential for integrating 7T MRI into routine practice, improving management of neurological and neurovascular diseases.
