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

Despite its advantages, the application of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) involves specific safety risks, primarily caused by the strong static magnetic field and the alternating electromagnetic fields, in particular the high-frequency (HF) and gradient fields, posing hazards to both patients and medical personnel. Particularly problematic are ferromagnetic objects that can enter the magnetic field uncontrolled, potentially causing severe injuries. Additionally, metal implants can interact undesirably with the MRI system, leading to tissue heating or malfunctioning. The gradient fields required for spatial encoding can cause unwanted nerve stimulations. The HF fields can cause electrically conductive materials to overheat, potentially resulting in burns; however, appropriate safety measures, such as labeling, specialized safety training and the automatic monitoring of critical safety parameters can extensively minimize these risks.
