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

backgroundComputed tomography (CT) is still commonly regarded as a method that causes a high radiation exposure. For that reason, producers intensively try to find new solutions for dose reduction while maintaining a high diagnostic value of images. One of the recent strategies focuses on CT image reconstruction. Iterative reconstruction (IR) is an alternative for filtered back projection (FBP) that is commonly used today.The aim of the article is to demonstrate and compare the effects of two IR algorithms on dose value and image details. MATERIAL/

methodsInvestigations were performed on two 128 multi-detector (MDCT) CT scanners: - iCT (Philips Healthcare with iDose

resultsThe signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) in the images reconstructed with IR and FBP were analysed, and the SNR(IR)/SNR(FBP) ratios were calculated and correlated with CTDI
