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

purposeThe objective for this study is to decrease the computation time of magnetic resonance fingerprinting dictionary computations that include slice profile effects. THEORY AND

methodsA locally linearized approximation to RF pulse propagators across RF scaling factors was derived and used to decrease the computational burden of MRF dictionary computation. MR fingerprinting phantom experiments were carried out at 3T to assess the practical feasibility of using dictionaries approximated with the proposed approach.

resultsUsing linearizations at 10

conclusionThe proposed locally linear approximation significantly accelerates slice-profile-aware MRF simulations while maintaining high accuracy, enabling practical incorporation of realistic RF pulse effects into large-scale dictionary computations.
