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

Computer tomography has a wide field of applicability; however, most of its applications assume that the data, obtained from the scans of the examined object, satisfy the expectations regarding their amount and quality. Unfortunately, sometimes such expected data cannot be achieved. Then we deal with the incomplete set of data. In the paper we consider an unusual case of such situation, which may occur when the access to the examined object is difficult. The previous research, conducted by the author, showed that the CT algorithms can be used successfully in this case as well, but the time of reconstruction is problematic. One of possibilities to reduce the time of reconstruction consists in executing the parallel calculations. In the analyzed approach the system of linear equations is divided into blocks, such that each block is operated by a different thread. Such investigations were performed only theoretically till now. In the current paper the usefulness of the parallel-block approach, proposed by the author, is examined. The conducted research has shown that also for an incomplete data set in the analyzed algorithm it is possible to select optimal values of the reconstruction parameters. We can also obtain (for a given number of pixels) a reconstruction with a given maximum error. The paper indicates the differences between the classical and the examined problem of CT. The obtained results confirm that the real implementation of the parallel algorithm is also convergent, which means it is useful.
