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

objectiveTo achieve low-dose digital breast tomosynthsis (DBT) projection recovery using penalized weighted least square algorithm incorporating accurate modeling of the variance of the projection data and noise correlation in the flat panel detector.

methodsModels were established for the quantal noise and electronic noise in the DBT system to construct the penalized weighted least squares algorithm based on noise correlation for projection data restoration. The filter back projection algorithm was then used for DBT image reconstruction.

resultsThe reconstruction results of the ACR phantom data at different dose levels showed a good performance of the proposed method in noise suppression and detail preservation. CNRs and LSNRs of the reconstructed images from the restored projections were increased by about 3.6 times compared to those of reconstructed images from the original projections.

conclusionsThe proposed method can significantly reduce noise and improve the quality of DBT images.
