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

backgroundThe low quality of diffusion tensor image (DTI) could affect the accuracy of oncology diagnosis.

methodsWe present a novel sparse representation based denoising method for three dimensional DTI by learning adaptive dictionary with the context redundancy between neighbor slices. In this study, the context redundancy among the adjacent slices of the diffusion weighted imaging volumes is utilized to train sparsifying dictionaries. Therefore, higher redundancy could be achieved for better description of image with lower computation complexity. The optimization problem is solved efficiently using an iterative block-coordinate relaxation method.

resultsThe effectiveness of our proposed method has been assessed on both simulated and real experimental DTI datasets. Qualitative and quantitative evaluations demonstrate the performance of the proposed method on the simulated data. The experiments on real datasets with different b-values also show the effectiveness of the proposed method for noise reduction of DTI.

conclusionsThe proposed approach well removes the noise in the DTI, which has high potential to be applied for clinical oncology applications.
