Improving magnetic field homogeneity in prostate MR imaging and spectroscopy using an add-on local external shim coil array.

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
objectiveTo improve B
methodsIn vivo prostate imaging was performed in seven healthy volunteers (mean age: 40.7 years) without bowel preparation. A simulation study determined the most robust configuration of the add-on shim coil together with shim coils from the MR system. The combination of the add-on shim coil array with 1st-order shims of the MR scanner was used and compared to the MR system's reference standard of conventional 1st and 2nd-order shimming. Performance was evaluated using the standard deviation (SD) of off-resonance frequencies (ΔB
resultsOverall, improvements were made with the combination of coils, with DSC rising from 0.90 ± 0.02 to 0.92 ± 0.02 (p = 0.01), a reduction in the SD of ΔB
conclusionA dedicated external shim coil array can improve B0 homogeneity in the prostate, enhancing image quality and precision in multi-parametric MRI.
