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

An upper bound is derived for a figure of merit that quantifies the error in reconstructed pixel or voxel values induced by the presence of null functions for any list-mode system. It is shown that this upper bound decreases as the region in attribute space occupied by the allowable attribute vectors expands. This upper bound allows quantification of the reduction in this error when this type of expansion is implemented. Of course, reconstruction error is also caused by system noise in the data, which has to be treated statistically, but we will not be addressing that problem here. This method is not restricted to pixelized or voxelized reconstructions and can in fact be applied to any region of interest. The upper bound for pixelized reconstructions is demonstrated on a list-mode 2D Radon transform example. The expansion in the attribute space is implemented by doubling the number of views. The results show how the pixel size and number of views both affect the upper bound on reconstruction error from null functions. This reconstruction error can be averaged over all pixels to give a single number or can be plotted as a function on the pixel grid. Both approaches are demonstrated for the example system. In conclusion, this method can be applied to any list-mode system for which the system operator is known and could be used in the design of the systems and reconstruction algorithms.
