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

purposeUsing parallel transmission (pTx) in ultra-high field MRI allows efficient radiofrequency pulse designs that can produce uniform excitations. Here, we demonstrate that pTx can simultaneously mitigate THEORY AND

methodsThe standard hard excitation pulses of the balanced steady-state free precession sequence were replaced with two pTx pulses, played out in alternating repetition times. Based on the k

resultsSimulations validated the concept showing that a pair of strategically designed pTx pulses can impose a favorable distribution of spatially varying steady-state. As a proof of principle, experiments performed demonstrated the technical feasibility of the concept in a phantom in the presence of induced phase variations and in vivo.

conclusionWith a tailored pair of pTx pulses, it was possible to concurrently mitigate
