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

objectiveWe purpose a novel factor analysis method based on kinetic cluster and α-divergence measure for extracting the blood input function and the time-activity curve of the regional tissue from dynamic myocardial positron emission computed tomography(PET) images.

methodsDynamic PET images were decomposed into initial factors and factor images by minimizing the α-divergence between the factor model and actual image data. The kinetic clustering as a priori constraint was then incorporated into the model to solve the nonuniqueness problem, and the tissue time-activity curves and the tissue space distributions with physiological significance were generated.

resultsThe model was applied to the 82RbPET myocardial perfusion simulation data and compared with the traditional model-based least squares measure and the minimal spatial overlap constraint. The experimental results showed that the proposed model performed better than the traditional model in terms of both accuracy and sensitivity.

conclusionThis method can select the optimal measure by α value, and incorporate the prior information of the kinetic clustering of PET image pixels to obtain the accurate time-activity curves of the tissue, which has shown good performance in visual evaluation and quantitative evaluation.
