Read My Leads: Subject-Specific RF Hazard Assessment and Mitigation for DBS Implants in MRI.
Article in Magnetic resonance in medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 and validate a framework for personalized, implant-specific MRI safety assessments using feedback from commercial deep brain stimulation (DBS) systems. To further use this framework to suppress RF-induced heating with minimum compromise in imaging performance.
methodsTwo off-the-shelf DBS implantable pulse generators and a commercial 8-electrode DBS lead were utilized for quantitative safety assessments. In controlled phantom experiments, (i) RF-induced voltages on the DBS lead, and (ii) temperature-dependent admittance/impedance changes in the tissue surrounding the lead's electrodes were quantified. This information was used to suppress implant-related RF heating by calculating implant-friendly imaging modes. Experimental conditions included excitations with different RF transmit coils (8-channel 3 T and 7 T head coils, 2-channel 3 T body coil), over 1000 different exposure scenarios, different implant configurations, and the use of external reference probes (
results
conclusionAll the information needed for full in situ control of implant heating in MRI can be read directly from the DBS device. This approach would improve both patient safety and image quality while simultaneously reducing workload and responsibilities of the clinical personnel.
