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

Statistical image reconstruction (SIR) methods have shown potential to substantially improve the image quality of low-dose x-ray computed tomography (CT) as compared to the conventional filtered back-projection (FBP) method. According to the maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimation, the SIR methods are typically formulated by an objective function consisting of two terms: (a) a data-fidelity term that models imaging geometry and physical detection processes in projection data acquisition, and (b) a regularization term that reflects prior knowledge or expectations of the characteristics of the to-be-reconstructed image. SIR desires accurate system modeling of data acquisition, while the regularization term also has a strong influence on the quality of reconstructed images. A variety of regularization strategies have been proposed for SIR in the past decades, based on different assumptions, models, and prior knowledge. In this paper, we review the conceptual and mathematical bases of these regularization strategies and briefly illustrate their efficacies in SIR of low-dose CT.
