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

objectiveWe propose a CT IQA strategy based on the prior information of pre-restored images (PR-IQA) to improve the performance of IQA models.

objectiveWe propose a CNN-based no-reference CT IQA strategy using the prior information of image quality features in the image restoration algorithm, which is combined with the original distorted image information into the two CNNs through the pre-restored image and the residual image. Multi-information fusion was used to improve the feature extraction ability and prediction performance of CNN. We built a CT IQA dataset based on spiral CT data published by Mayo Clinic. The performance of PR- IQA was evaluated by calculating the quantitative metrics and statistical tests. The influence of different hyperparameter settings for PR-IQA was analyzed. We then compared PR-IQA with the BASELINE model based on the single CNN to evaluate the original distorted image without reference image and other eight IQA algorithms.

objectiveThe comparative experiment results showed that the PR-IQA model based on the prior information of 3 different image restoration algorithms (BF, NLM and BM3D) was better than all the tested IQA algorithms. Compared with the BASELINE method, the proposed method showed significantly improved performance, and the mean PLCC was increased by 12.56% and SROCC by 19.95%, and RMSE was decreased by 22.77%.

objectiveThe proposed PR-IQA method can make full use of the prior information of the image restoration algorithm to effectively predict the quality of CT images.
