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

This study aimed to numerically investigate spatio-temporal displacement and pressure-field characteristics during blood-brain barrier (BBB) opening procedures. Magnetic resonance acoustic radiation force impulse (MR-ARFI) imaging use with a clinical 220 kHz system for microbubble-mediated BBB opening is unreported. A simulation environment was developed to determine the feasibility of MR-ARFI imaging for targeted treatment. A clinical focused ultrasound transducer system was modeled, using a virtual tissue-segmented skull model. Acoustic power was adjusted to determine the changes in pressure and displacement within the skull cavity. The focal shape was adjusted with holography to observe the changes in displacement. Calculations and simulations suggested displacement imaging might be feasible for pretreatment targeting without microbubbles at a mechanical index near 1.9. Computations showed at a constant mechanical index, displacement increased with focal spot diameter, focal spot length, higher frequency, and in white matter compared to gray matter.
