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

purposeOne of the intrinsic limitations of low-field MRI is low signal-to-noise ratio, which can be further reduced by electromagnetic interference (EMI) due to the lack of a Faraday shielded room. To address this issue, we propose a novel radiofrequency (RF) coil design that is inherently less sensitive to EMI while maintaining high receive sensitivity.

methodsThe proposed coil structure is based on an anapole (toroidal) design and consists of six rings, each containing four continuous wires wound around an elliptical three-dimensional-printed former. The wire in the entire structure is uninterrupted. This coil is designed for use in systems with an axial B

resultsThe noise level achieved by the proposed toroidal coil in combination with a belt wrapped around the subjects and grounded to the scanner was comparable to that of the widely used spiral head coil when combined with a grounding belt and passive aluminum shielding. The coil transmit and receive efficiency was comparable to the efficiency of the spiral head coil.

conclusionThe proposed RF coil inherently reduces the effect of EMI, potentially removing or reducing the need for passive shielding or external/internal sensors for EMI reduction in postprocessing.
