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

backgroundMotion of the heart is known to affect image quality in cardiac PET. The prevalence of motion blurring in routine cardiac PET is not fully appreciated due to challenges identifying subtle motion artefacts. This study utilizes a recent prototype Data-Driven Motion Correction (DDMC) algorithm to generate corrected images that are compared with non-corrected images to identify visual differences in relative rubidium-82 perfusion images due to motion.

methods300 stress and 300 rest static images were reconstructed with DDMC and without correction (NMC). The 600 DDMC/NMC image pairs were assigned Visual Difference Score (VDS). The number of non-diagnostic images were noted. A "Dwell Fraction" (DF) was derived from the data to quantify motion and predict image degradation.

resultsMotion degradation (VDS = 1 or 2) was evident in 58% of stress images and 33% of rest images. Seven NMC images were non-diagnostic-these originated from six studies giving a 2% rate of non-diagnostic studies due to motion. The DF metric was able to effectively predict image degradation. The DDMC heart identification and tracking was successful in all images.

conclusionMotion degradation is present in almost half of all relative perfusion images. The DDMC algorithm is a robust tool for predicting, assessing and correcting image degradation.
