Alpha-180 spin-echo-based line-scanning method for high-resolution laminar-specific fMRI in animals.

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
Laminar-specific functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has been widelyused to study circuit-specific neuronal activity by mapping spatiotemporal fMRIresponse patterns across cortical layers. Hemodynamic responses reflect indirectneuronal activity given the limitation of spatial and temporal resolution.Previously, a gradient-echo-based line-scanning fMRI (GELINE) method wasproposed with high temporal (50 ms) and spatial (50 µm) resolution tobetter characterize the fMRI onset time across cortical layers by employing twosaturation RF pulses. However, the imperfect RF saturation performance led topoor boundary definition of the reduced region of interest (ROI) and aliasingproblems outside of the ROI. Here, we propose an α (alpha)-180spin-echo-based line-scanning fMRI (SELINE) method in animals to resolve thisissue by employing a refocusing 180˚ RF pulse perpendicular to theexcitation slice (without any saturation RF pulse) and also achieve highspatiotemporal resolution. In contrast to GELINE signals which peaked at thesuperficial layer, we detected varied peaks of laminar-specific BOLD signalsacross deeper cortical layers using the SELINE method, indicating thewell-defined exclusion of the large draining-vein effect using the spin-echosequence. Furthermore, we applied the SELINE method with a 200 ms repetitiontime (TR) to sample the fast hemodynamic changes across cortical layers with aless draining vein effect. In summary, this SELINE method provides a novelacquisition scheme to identify microvascular-sensitive laminar-specific BOLDresponses across cortical depth.
