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 demonstrate flow-suppressed two-dimensional (2D) spin-echo and spin-echo diffusion echo-planar imaging (EPI) sequences using hyperbolic secant (HS) pulses for both π/2 excitation and π refocusing. THEORY AND

methodsA theoretical framework to derive phase dispersion of moving spins under π/2 excitation and π refocusing using HS pulses was described. Numerical simulations were performed to verify the validity of the theoretical analysis. All experiments were performed on a 3T clinical scanner. Phantom and human-brain imaging was performed using 2D spin-echo sequence, and liver imaging was performed using 2D spin-echo diffusion EPI. The signal-to-noise ratio and residual blood flow signal of the proposed sequences were compared with those of conventional spin-echo sequences using sinc pulses.

resultsResults from human brain and liver images demonstrated that the proposed method substantially reduced blood flow artifacts. In the brain, venous blood flow was suppressed more effectively with the proposed method than with conventional spin-echo sequence using presaturation. In the liver, as compared with spin-echo sequence using sinc pulses, the proposed method showed noticeable attenuation of bright blood signals at low b-values, whereas the overall tissue signal in peripheral regions was higher. The signal-to-noise ratio was enhanced by 10% to 30%, indicating improved B
