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

purposeThe application of traditional machine learning techniques, in the form of regression models based on conventional, "hand-crafted" features, to artifact reduction in limited angle tomography is investigated.

methodsMean-variation-median (MVM), Laplacian, Hessian, and shift-variant data loss (SVDL) features are extracted from the images reconstructed from limited angle data. The regression models linear regression (LR), multilayer perceptron (MLP), and reduced-error pruning tree (REPTree) are applied to predict artifact images.

resultsREPTree learns artifacts best and reaches the smallest root-mean-square error (RMSE) of 29 HU for the Shepp-Logan phantom in a parallel-beam study. Further experiments demonstrate that the MVM and Hessian features complement each other, whereas the Laplacian feature is redundant in the presence of MVM. In fan-beam, the SVDL features are also beneficial. A preliminary experiment on clinical data in a fan-beam study demonstrates that REPTree can reduce some artifacts for clinical data. However, it is not sufficient as a lot of incorrect pixel intensities still remain in the estimated reconstruction images.

conclusionREPTree has the best performance on learning artifacts in limited angle tomography compared with LR and MLP. The features of MVM, Hessian, and SVDL are beneficial for artifact prediction in limited angle tomography. Preliminary experiments on clinical data suggest that the investigation on more features is necessary for clinical applications of REPTree.
