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

Investigation of image reconstruction from data collected over a limited-angular range in X-ray CT remains a topic of active research because it may yield insight into the development of imaging workflow of practical significance. This reconstruction problem is well-known to be challenging, however, because it is highly ill-conditioned. In the work, we investigate optimization-based image reconstruction from data acquired over a limited-angular range that is considerably smaller than the angular range in short-scan CT. We first formulate the reconstruction problem as a convex optimization program with directional total-variation (TV) constraints applied to the image, and then develop an iterative algorithm, referred to as the directional-TV (DTV) algorithm for image reconstruction through solving the optimization program. We use the DTV algorithm to reconstruct images from data collected over a variety of limited-angular ranges for breast and bar phantoms of clinical- and industrial-application relevance. The study demonstrates that the DTV algorithm accurately recovers the phantoms from data generated over a significantly reduced angular range, and that it considerably diminishes artifacts observed otherwise in reconstructions of existing algorithms. We have also obtained empirical conditions on minimal-angular ranges sufficient for numerically accurate image reconstruction with the DTV algorithm.
