Comparison of commercial 1Tx32Rx vs. 8Tx32Rx head coils for routine 7T neuroimaging.

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
Introduction: Human 7T MRI systems are manufactured by three vendors (Siemens, Philips, and GE) who all provide equivalent head coils from the same 3rd party manufacturer. Furthermore, many 7T MRI sites have two head coils available for neuroimaging: a 1Tx32Rx head coil for conventional single-channel transmit imaging and an 8Tx32Rx head coil for parallel-transmit (pTx) imaging. Methods: We compared the performance of these coils in six healthy volunteers. All scans were done on a 7T MRI (MAGNETOM Terra, Siemens, Germany). We tested seven sequences in wide use at our centre: B Results: Data quality is comparable for both coils. The 8Tx32Rx coil had improved B Conclusion: It is reasonable to substitute the 8Tx32Rx coil for the 1Tx32Rx coil for standard neuroimaging protocols. This will enable advanced parallel transmit sequences to be added to protocols with minimal disruption.
