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 determine the feasibility of tagged MRI at 0.55 T and tag persistence for cardiac and speech production applications. This is particularly challenging due to the short muscle T

methodsTagged MRI was performed using phase-sensitive tagging (REALTAG) two-dimensional grid-based preparation and spiral balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP) imaging. Experiments were performed in healthy adult volunteers using a 0.55 T MRI system with high-performance gradients on two functional anatomies. Cardiac scans had 7.5-mm tag spacing, 1.3-mm

resultsREALTAG preparation and phase-sensitive reconstruction resulted in taglines that recover quickly when compared to 1.5 T, for both bSSFP and GRE imaging approaches. The bSSFP approach, at optimal flip angles, provided a 1.35-fold improved SNR and 1.6-fold improved tag persistence. For a tag contrast-to-noise ratio threshold of 6, the tag persistence was about 506 ms for GRE and about 851 ms for bSSFP.

conclusionTagged MRI is feasible at 0.55 T and can be used for functional analysis of muscle motion such as cardiac and speech applications, despite the short T
