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

Proton magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and spectroscopy (MRS) are widely used in clinical and research applications. Recent interest in X-nuclei studies highlights their ability to provide additional biochemical information, but the intrinsically low X-nuclear signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) significantly increases scan time. Simultaneous (rather than serial) acquisition of multiple nuclei can significantly reduce experiment time, but most conventional MR systems lack this capability without modifications. We present a cost-effective system that enables simultaneous multinuclear imaging and spectroscopy on conventional MR spectrometers. Our approach offers enhanced flexibility for multinuclear experiments, supports multinuclear array receive capability, and maintains phase stability in the radio frequency (RF) chain. The proposed system comprised multiple transmit and receive mixing channels and a four-channel flexible local oscillator (LO) source. By interfacing with the spectrometer, simultaneous transmit and receive at different frequencies were achieved. The performance of the system was evaluated through bench measurement and phantom multinuclear MRI and MRS experiments. Transmit and receive channel isolation of better than 30 dB was measured on the bench. Simultaneous excitation and reception of
