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 develop a fat-water separation approach that corrects bipolar readout gradient-induced effects without additional scans and is compatible with any fat-water separation method. THEORY AND

methodsThe proposed approach combines joint fat-water separation of the odd and even echoes of a bipolar multi-echo gradient echo acquisition with an inverse problem to find least-squares estimates for phase and amplitude corrections to eliminate bipolar-induced effects. Optimization of sequence parameters through the calculation of the equivalent number of signal averages (NSA) with Cramér-Rao Bound theory (CRB) is presented. The proposed approach is demonstrated with a graph-cut fat-water separation. Characterization of the accuracy was performed via Monte Carlo Simulations (MC). The approach was tested in phantoms and in vivo. Proton density fat fraction (PDFF) and effective transverse relaxation rate (

resultsNSA calculations suggest short TE

conclusionWe proposed an approach to correct bipolar readout-induced effects that are detrimental for fat-water separation. This approach can extend the use of existing fat-water separation techniques designed for data acquired using unipolar readout gradients to data collected with bipolar readout gradients.
