The usefulness of SwiftScan technology for bone scintigraphy using a novel anthropomorphic phantom.
Article in Scientific reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
The aim of this study was to demonstrate the usefulness of SwiftScan with a low-energy high-resolution and sensitivity (LEHRS) collimator for bone scintigraphy using a novel bone phantom simulating the human body. SwiftScan planar image of lateral view was acquired in clinical condition; thereafter, each planar image of different blend ratio (0-80%) of Crality 2D processing were created. SwiftScan planar images with reduced acquisition time by 25-75% were created by Poisson's resampling processing. SwiftScan single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) was acquired with step-and-shoot and continuous mode, and SPECT images were reconstructed using a three-dimensional ordered subset expectation maximization incorporating attenuation, scatter and spatial resolution corrections. SwiftScan planar image showed a high contrast to noise ratio (CNR) and low percent of the coefficient of variance (%CV) compared with conventional planar image. The CNR of the tumor parts in SwiftScan SPECT was higher than that of the conventional SPECT image of step and shoot acquisition, while the %CV showed the lowest value in all systems. In conclusion, SwiftScan planar and SPECT images were able to reduce the image noise compared with planar and SPECT image with a low-energy high-resolution collimator, so that SwiftScan planar and SPECT images could be obtained a high CNR. Furthermore, the SwiftScan planar image was able to reduce the acquisition time by 25% when the blend ratio of Clarity 2D processing set to more than 40%.
