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.
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
Background and purpose: Quantitative T1 mapping is a major building block in several multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocols intended for adaptive radiation therapy. The implementation of these protocols is challenging in anatomical sites that experience large physiological motion. The purpose of this study was to implement and validate motion-resolved quantitative T1 mapping on a 1.5 T MRI linear accelerator (MR-Linac) combining non-Cartesian k-space sampling trajectories with compressed sensing (CS) reconstruction. Materials and methods: Four 3-dimensional non-Cartesian k-space trajectories were evaluated: kooshball and stack-of-stars sampling using half- and full-spoke coverage. A variable flip angle acquisition was performed using the spoiled gradient-echo sequence. Gradient delay timing was optimized to minimize trajectory-induced artifacts. Eight CS reconstruction strategies were tested using spatial/spatiotemporal regularization operators. Reconstructions were evaluated and sorted by spatial resolution, bias, and variability. Motion-resolved T1 mapping was validated using two standard phantoms, one healthy volunteer, and one kidney cancer patient using respiratory self-gating and phase-sorted reconstruction. Results: All non-Cartesian T1 maps demonstrated high repeatability and low longitudinal bias in phantom studies, with coefficients of variation below 3.3%. Spatiotemporal regularization preserved spatial resolution and quantitative accuracy at undersampling factors up to 20-fold. In human subjects, non-Cartesian T1 mapping provided improved accuracy and reduced variability in mobile abdominal tissues compared to Cartesian acquisitions. Conclusions: Quantitative T1 mapping using non-Cartesian trajectories and CS reconstruction is feasible on a 1.5 T MR-Linac. The proposed approach enables accurate motion-resolved quantitative imaging within clinically practical acquisition times, establishing a foundation for multiparametric MRI in adaptive radiotherapy.
