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

purposeNumerical simulations can be adopted to aid the evaluation of the interaction between switched gradient fields and metallic implants and estimate the possible temperature increase. Anyway, an analysis of the consistency of their prediction with experiments is lacking, differently from what can be found for exposure to radiofrequency fields. The purpose of this work is to fill this gap.

methodsA systematic comparison between experiments and simulations was conducted, considering commercial metallic orthopedic implants. The complexity of the exposure scenario was gradually increased, starting from the conditions defined in the ISO/TS 10974:2018 standard and moving to more realistic exposure scenarios with sinusoidal or pulsed gradient fields.

resultsThe computational tools demonstrated an overall good capability in predicting the outcomes of the experimental tests, as long as numerical simulations are properly set up (building of the virtual model, discretization parameters, positioning/orientation of the object). The consistency between simulations and measurements is comparable with the one obtainable under radiofrequency exposure and decreases with exposure complexity.

conclusionThe results pave the way for the use of numerical simulations to support laboratory testing of passive implants heating under time-varying gradient fields.
