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

The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) governs the quality of signal detection and directly impacts the clarity and reliability of the acquired images. Recent advances in metamaterials have enabled lightweight solutions with selective magnetic responses, offering a route to locally boost SNR in targeted anatomical regions but often with compromised field homogeneity. Here, a wireless metamaterial cage constructed from coaxial cables is engineered for homogeneous SNR enhancement at 3.0 T. With its cylindrical geometry and electromagnetic architecture, the device supports circularly polarized resonance through engineered phase-shifted currents, enabling selective and omnidirectional interaction with the rotating
