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

purposeUltrashort echo time (UTE) techniques are essential for the magnetic resonance imaging of short-T

methodsThe sequences use a prepulse to presaturate blocks of magnetization and a whole-volume excitation to enable UTE acquisition. By shifting the saturation blocks and subtracting subsequent acquisitions, two and four simultaneous slices can be imaged with the δSB-UTE and δMB-UTE sequences, respectively. Design trade-offs were investigated in a phantom, and the sequences were used to image healthy volunteers at 3 T.

resultsThe received signal strength increased as prepulse flip angle and saturation block shift increased. Slice thickness increased as prepulse flip angle, saturation block shift, and saturation block thickness decreased, and prepulse time·bandwidth product increased. The δSB-UTE and δMB-UTE sequences were used to image a 210 × 210 × 80 mm

conclusionThe δSB-UTE and δMB-UTE sequences can be used to capture short-T
