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

purposeTo enhance time-resolved segmented imaging by synergy of run-time stabilization and retrospective data-driven phase correction.

methodsA segmented 3D EPI sequence for fMRI time series is equipped with servo navigation based on short orbital navigators and a linear perturbation model, enabling run-time correction for rigid-body motion, bulk phase, and frequency fluctuations. Complementary retrospective phase correction is based on the repetitive structure of the time series and serves to address residual phase and frequency offsets. The combined approach is termed phase equalization enhanced by run-time stabilization (PEERS).

resultsThe proposed methods are assessed in terms of resulting alignment and tSNR of 3D EPI time series in a phantom and in vivo. Servo navigation is found to diminish motion confound in raw data and maintain k-space consistency over time series. Coarse frequency tracking based on short navigators is supplemented by precise shot-wise frequency and phase correction using retrospective phase equalization of EPI data. Relative to conventional volume realignment, PEERS achieved tSNR improvements of up to

conclusionServo navigation achieves high-precision run-time motion correction for 3D EPI and is synergistic with retrospective phase equalization. Fully automatic and self-calibrated, PEERS offers effective plug-and-play motion and phase correction for stabilized 3D EPI time series. The translation of stability gains into metrics of functional sensitivity is complex and must be studied with suitable statistical power. The data obtained in this work does not support any conclusions in this regard.
