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.
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
In a recently published paper by Li et al (2018 Phys. Med. Biol. 63 075001), reconstruction parameters were optimized for the so-called synchronized multiArtifact reduction with tomographic reconstruction (SMART-RECON) method to enable time-resolved Cone beam computed tomography angiography (TR-CBCTA) from a single short-scan CBCT data set. However, the paper did not quantitatively address how much temporal resolution can be improved by using the SMART-RECON algorithm in TR-CBCTA. The purpose of this note was to present a method to quantify this temporal resolution improvement factor and to use that method to quantify the improvement in temporal resolution using SMART-RECON and optimized reconstruction parameters. In the method proposed in this note, the potential temporal blurring caused by SMART-RECON was modeled as a convolution between a temporal Gaussian blurring kernel and the ground truth temporal enhancement curve. The width parameter of the resulting Gaussian blurring kernel was used as a surrogate metric for temporal resolution to quantify the achievable temporal resolution for the conventional filtered backprojection (FBP) and SMART-RECON methods. The ratio of the surrogate temporal resolutions for the two reconstruction methods was calculated to quantify the factor of temporal resolution improvement. The quantitative results show that the temporal resolution is improved by a factor of 4.5 using SMART-RECON compared with FBP.
