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

We propose an adaptive nonlocal means approach for image-domain material decomposition in low-dose dual-energy micro-computed tomography. The key idea is to create a distribution map for decomposition error and assign a smooth weight for a given pixel. This method is applied to the decomposed images of 3 basis materials: bone, soft tissue, and gold in our applications. We assume that bone and gold cannot coexist in the same pixel and regroup these basis materials into 2 categories. For soft tissue, the proposed algorithm is implemented in a noniterative mode. For bone and gold, an iterative mode is used and followed by a postiteration process. Both our numerical simulation and in vivo preclinical experiment results show that the proposed adaptive nonlocal means outperforms other state-of-the-art denoising algorithms, such as the original nonlocal means and total variation minimization methods.
