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

In clinical MRI-guided interventions, the lack of high-quality peripheral equipment and specialized interventional MRI systems often necessitates delegating real-time control of MRI scanners to an assistant. We proposed a voice-based interaction system powered by large language models that enabled hands-free natural language control of MRI scanners. The system leveraged multi-agent collaboration driven by large language models to execute scanner functionalities, including sequence execution, parameter adjustment, and scanner table positioning. In 90 hands-free tests for 18 predefined tasks performed within a real MRI scanning room, the system achieved an overall task completion rate of 93.3% (95% CI 86.2-96.9%). On a consumer laptop without GPU support, the response time for control commands was approximately 5-10.5 s. Our study demonstrates the feasibility of using large language models for voice-based interaction with MRI scanners during interventions, eliminating the need for additional assistants and allowing human-like communication.
