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

purposeDiffusion MRI probes tissue microstructure, but low SNR and limited resolution hinder detection of features and parameter estimates. We introduce slice excitation with random overlap (SERO), which enables variable repetition times (TRs) and diffusion weighting within a single shot. This acquisition supports super-resolution reconstruction of baseline signal (

methodsWe implemented a diffusion-weighted spin-echo sequence in Pulseq that excites thick slices at random positions. Across shots, pseudo-random overlap produces inter- and intra-slice TR variation (0.15-21.9 s) with b-values up to 1.4 ms/μm

resultsIn simulations SERO improved accuracy of

conclusionRandom slice overlap enriches encoding diversity, improving accuracy and precision of diffusion and relaxation parameters without longer scan time. SERO offers a novel path to high-resolution microstructural imaging, especially at low SNR.
