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

Spectral computed tomography (CT) reconstructs material-dependent attenuation images from the projections of multiple narrow energy windows, which is meaningful for material identification and decomposition. Unfortunately, the multi-energy projection datasets usually have lower signal-noise ratios (SNR). Very recently, a spatial-spectral cube matching frame (SSCMF) was proposed to explore the non-local spatial-spectral similarities for spectral CT. This method constructs a group by clustering up a series of non-local spatial-spectral cubes. The small size of spatial patches for such a group makes the SSCMF fail to fully encode the sparsity and low-rank properties. The hard-thresholding and collaboration filtering in the SSCMF also cause difficulty in recovering the image features and spatial edges. While all the steps are operated on 4-D group, the huge computational cost and memory load might not be affordable in practice. To avoid the above limitations and further improve the image quality, we first formulate a non-local cube-based tensor instead of group to encode the sparsity and low-rank properties. Then, as a new regularizer, the Kronecker-basis-representation tensor factorization is employed into a basic spectral CT reconstruction model to enhance the capability of image feature extraction and spatial edge preservation, generating a non-local low-rank cube-based tensor factorization (NLCTF) method. Finally, the split-Bregman method is adopted to solve the NLCTF model. Both numerical simulations and preclinical mouse studies are performed to validate and evaluate the NLCTF algorithm. The results show that the NLCTF method outperforms the other state-of-the-art competing algorithms.
