Content-Aware Enhancement of Images With Filamentous Structures.
Article in IEEE transactions on image processing : a publication of the IEEE Signal Processing Society, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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 this paper, we describe a novel enhancement method for images containing filamentous structures. Our method combines a gradient sparsity constraint with a filamentous structure constraint for the effective removal of clutter and noise from the background. The method is applied and evaluated on three types of data: 1) confocal microscopy images of neurons; 2) calcium imaging data; and 3) images of road pavement. We found that the images enhanced by our method preserve both the structure and the intensity details of the original object. In the case of neuron microscopy, we find that the neurons enhanced by our method are better correlated with the original structure intensities than the neurons enhanced by well-known vessel enhancement methods. Experiments on simulated calcium imaging data indicate that both the number of detected neurons and the accuracy of the derived calcium activity are improved. Applying our method to real calcium data, more regions exhibiting calcium activity in the full field of view were found. In road pavement crack detection, smaller or milder cracks were detected after using our enhancement method.
