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 an analytical model of the RF-shielding of laser-cut venous stents for different orientations and stent geometries.

methodsLaser-cut venous stents are modeled as a grid composed of circular and rectangular loops. As these loops are orthogonal they shield different components of the transmit RF field. The shielding is calculated using Faraday's induction law, taking into account the self-inductance and mutual coupling of circular and rectangular loops, and Biot-Savart's law. The shielding of 95 stent-mimicking models was calculated, and numerical simulations and measurements were performed at both 1.5 and 3T for validation.

resultsThe shielding of circular and rectangular loops differed by less than 3.3% and 10% between calculations, simulations, and measurements. The overall stent length had negligible impact on the shielding (< 8%). The combined shielding of both loop types showed deviations of less than 10% compared to stent models with varying cell sizes. Orienting the stents at an oblique angle other than 0° or 90° to B

conclusionThe model allows for the calculation of the B
