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

purposeDeep learning-based reconstruction (DLR) has been developed to reduce image noise and increase the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of DLR for high spatial resolution (HR)-MR cisternography.

methodsThis retrospective study included 35 patients who underwent HR-MR cisternography. The images were reconstructed with or without DLR. The SNRs of the CSF and pons, contrast of the CSF and pons, and sharpness of the normal-side trigeminal nerve using full width at half maximum (FWHM) were compared between the two image types. Noise quality, sharpness, artifacts, and overall image quality of these two types of images were qualitatively scored.

resultsThe SNRs of the CSF and pons were significantly higher with DLR than without DLR (CSF 21.81 ± 7.60 vs. 15.33 ± 4.03, p < 0.001; pons 5.96 ± 1.38 vs. 3.99 ± 0.48, p < 0.001). There were no significant differences in the contrast of the CSF and pons (p = 0.225) and sharpness of the normal-side trigeminal nerve using FWHM (p = 0.185) without and with DLR, respectively. Noise quality and the overall image quality were significantly higher with DLR than without DLR (noise quality 3.95 ± 0.19 vs. 2.53 ± 0.44, p < 0.001; overall image quality 3.97 ± 0.17 vs. 2.97 ± 0.12, p < 0.001). There were no significant differences in sharpness (p = 0.371) and artifacts (p = 1) without and with DLR.

conclusionDLR can improve the image quality of HR-MR cisternography by reducing image noise without sacrificing contrast or sharpness.
