EVALUATION OF THE SPATIAL RESOLUTION IN MONTE CARLO-BASED SPECT/CT RECONSTRUCTION OF 111IN-OCTREOTIDE IMAGES.
Article in Radiation protection dosimetry, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
The purpose was to evaluate the spatial resolution in 111In-octreotide single-photom emission computed tomography (SPECT)/computed tomography (CT) imaging following reconstructions with three different ordered subset expectation maximizations (OSEM) reconstruction algorithms; attenuation corrected (AC) OSEM, AC OSEM with resolution recovery (ACRR OSEM) and Monte Carlo-based OSEM reconstruction (MC OSEM). SPECT/CT imaging of a triple line phantom containing 111In in air and water was performed. The spatial resolution, represented by the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of a line profile, was determined for each line, for X and Y direction and for all reconstructions. The mean FWHM was 12.2 mm (±standard deviation [SD] 3.7 mm) for AC OSEM, 9.3 mm (±SD 2.5 mm) for ACRR OSEM and 8.2 mm (±SD 2.0 mm) for MC OSEM. MC-based SPECT/CT reconstruction clearly improves the spatial resolution in 111In-octreotide imaging and since MC simulations can be performed for all photon energies MC OSEM has the potential to improve SPECT/CT imaging overall.
