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

purposeFrequency-modulated (FM) RF pulses achieve broadband excitation with low RF peak power, which is required in MRI with inhomogeneous magnetic fields. However, the quadratic phase generated with FM pulses makes it difficult to use them in fast spin echo (FSE), because even and odd refocused echoes have different spatial phase profiles. In this article, we formulate the condition that can generate a consistent quadratic phase in the two echo components in 3D FSE using FM pulses.

methodsThe consistent quadratic phase condition in 3D FM-FSE was formulated with the Cayley-Klein parameters. The B

resultsIn EPG simulation, a consistent quadratic phase was generated in all echoes in 3D FM-FSE under the formulated condition. The EPG simulation matched well with experimental results. The B

conclusionAchieving consistent quadratic phase in all refocused echoes in 3D FM-FSE makes it possible to use FM pulses in the non-adiabatic regime. 3D FM-FSE is a promising pulse sequence for MRI in inhomogeneous magnetic fields.
