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
purposeTo develop a free-breathing pulmonary imaging technique that provides three-dimensional (3D) structural images and regional ventilation maps, and to evaluate its repeatability and accuracy compared with two-dimensional phase-resolved functional lung (PREFUL) and global tidal volume.
methodsA free-breathing 3D stack-of-spiral out-in (SOS out-in) balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP) sequence with self-navigators was designed to achieve 2-mm isotropic resolution in 5 min. Respiratory-resolved images were reconstructed using spatial L1 wavelet and temporal finite-difference constraints. The 3D ventilation maps were generated based on Jacobian determinant of the estimated nonrigid deformations. Six healthy volunteers were scanned in supine and prone positions. Ventilation maps were compared with two-dimensional PREFUL from two matched slices. Test-retest repeatability was assessed using Bland-Altman analysis. Correlations among the proposed method, PREFUL, and global tidal volume were evaluated.
resultsIn healthy volunteers, the SOS out-in lung images provided sufficient vessel-parenchyma contrast and boundary sharpness to support accurate ventilation estimation. Regional ventilation measurements from 3D SOS out-in demonstrated good repeatability (relative differences < 10%). Ventilation maps from 3D SOS out-in strongly correlated with PREFUL on a slice-matched basis as well as with global tidal volume (R
conclusionThe proposed method provides high-quality respiratory-resolved structural images and 3D ventilation mapping in a single 5-min scan at 0.55 T. Ventilation measurements are sensitive, consistent, and in good agreement with PREFUL and spirometry.
