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 investigate an optimization-based approach to image reconstruction from list-mode data in digital time-of-flight (TOF) positron emission tomography (PET) imaging.

methodIn the study, the image to be reconstructed is designed as a solution to a convex, non-smooth optimization program, and a primal-dual algorithm is developed for image reconstruction by solving the optimization program. The algorithm is first applied to list-mode TOF-PET data of a typical count level from physical phantoms and a human subject. Subsequently, we explore the algorithm's potential for image reconstruction in low-dose and/or fast TOF-PET imaging of practical interest by applying the algorithm to list-mode TOF-PET data of different, low-count levels from the same physical phantoms and human subject.

resultsVisual inspection and quantitative-metric analysis reveal that the optimization reconstruction approach investigated can yield images with enhanced spatial and contrast resolution, suppressed image noise, and increased axial volume coverage over the reference images obtained with a standard clinical reconstruction algorithm especially for low-dose TOF-PET data. SIGNIFICANCE: The optimization-based reconstruction approach can be exploited for yielding insights into potential quality upper bound of reconstructed images in, and design of scanning protocols of, TOF-PET imaging of practical significance.
