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

The work seeks to develop an algorithm for image reconstruction by directly inverting the non-linear data model in spectral CT. Using the non-linear data model, we formulate the image-reconstruction problem as a non-convex optimization program, and develop a non-convex primal-dual (NCPD) algorithm to solve the program. We devise multiple convergence conditions and perform verification studies numerically to demonstrate that the NCPD algorithm can solve the non-convex optimization program and under appropriate data condition, can invert the non-linear data model. Using the NCPD algorithm, we then reconstruct monochromatic images from simulated and real data of numerical and physical phantoms acquired with a standard, full-scan dual-energy configuration. The result of the reconstruction studies shows that the NCPD algorithm can correct accurately for the non-linear beam-hardening effect. Furthermore, we apply the NCPD algorithm to simulated and real data of the numerical and physical phantoms collected with non-standard, short-scan dual-energy configurations, and obtain monochromatic images comparable to those of the standard, full-scan study, thus revealing the potential of the NCPD algorithm for enabling non-standard scanning configurations in spectral CT, where the existing indirect methods are limited.
