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 treatment efficiency of

methodsWe evaluated the effect of energy window width, reconstruction algorithms, and different geometries of a medium-energy (ME) parallel-hole collimator on the image contrast and SNR of

resultsOur results showed that optimal image quality can be acquired by the reconstruction algorithm of OS-EM in the energy window width of 60 to 400 keV for

conclusionsThe acquired optimal ME collimator and energy window along with using a suitable reconstruction algorithm lead to improved contrast and SNR of
