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 implement a three-dimensional FLORET-UTE sequence for rapid MR thermometry during cryoablation and to validate voxel-wise temperature maps against fiber-optic probes in ex vivo bovine liver.

methodsA FLORET-UTE trajectory (TE 50 μs, 1.6 mm isotropic, 18 s/volume) was executed on a 3 T scanner while dry-ice cryoablation was applied to liver phantoms. Four fiber-optic sensors provided reference temperatures. Magnitude signal was normalized to baseline and fitted to a mono-exponential temperature model in the first experiment; the unchanged model was applied prospectively to the second dataset. Images were reconstructed offline with

resultsCalibration yielded a strong signal-temperature relationship (

conclusionFLORET-UTE enables quantitative 3-D MR thermometry of frozen tissue with < 20 s temporal resolution and < 2°C accuracy, overcoming the speed limitations of earlier UTE methods. The technique is a promising candidate for real-time MR-guided cryoablation and warrants in vivo evaluation.
