MoCo + ROVir: Synergy Between Respiratory Motion Compensation and Cardiac Receive Region Focusing for Cardiac 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 2 papers.
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 improve cardiac motion representation and reduce artifacts for cardiac- and respiratory-resolved imaging through a synergistic combination of retrospective cardiac phased array RF focusing and rigid respiratory motion compensation (MoCo).
methodsWe incorporated cardiac receive focusing using region-optimized virtual coils (ROVir) and MoCo into cardiac- and respiratory-resolved low-rank tensor (LRT) reconstruction, hypothesizing that the combination of MoCo + ROVir would prioritize the LRT representation of cardiac motion over respiratory motion. We compared LRT, MoCo-LRT, ROVir-LRT, and the proposed MoCo + ROVir-LRT reconstructions of retrospective data from N = 24 pediatric patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) scanned at 3.0 T using ROCK-MUSIC. Technical evaluation metrics included the proportion of cardiac-to-respiratory motion energy in self-gating lines, cardiac motion priority in the temporal basis, flickering energy, and edge sharpness in end-expiratory cardiac cine. Reconstructed cardiac cines were scored by two expert image readers.
resultsMoCo + ROVir significantly increased the proportion of cardiac-to-respiratory motion energy in self-gating lines (p < 0.001) and prioritized cardiac motion in the temporal basis (p < 0.001). MoCo + ROVir reduced flickering energy in cardiac cine images (p < 0.001), sharpened the liver-lung interface (p < 0.001), and improved flickering-specific scores (p = 0.001). Myocardium-blood pool interface sharpness (p = 0.831), cardiac-specific image scores (p = 0.188), and vascular-specific scores (p = 0.901) were not significantly different. Together, these two techniques allowed 3.7-5.2× faster reconstruction times versus LRT-only.
conclusionThe synergy of MoCo + ROVir successfully prioritized cardiac motion, suppressed respiratory motion, and reduced flickering artifacts, with an added benefit of accelerating reconstruction times. The improved respiratory motion handling may provide an avenue for free-breathing cardiac scans in pediatric patients with CHD.
