A Web-Based Software Platform for Efficient and Quantitative CT Image Quality Assessment and Protocol Optimization.
Article in Proceedings of SPIE--the International Society for Optical Engineering, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Channelized Hotelling observer (CHO), which has been shown to be well correlated with human observer performance in many clinical CT tasks, has a great potential to become the method of choice for objective image quality assessment. However, the use of CHO in clinical CT is still quite limited, mainly due to its complexity in measurement and calculation in practice, and the lack of access to an efficient and validated software tool for most clinical users. In this work, a web-based software platform for CT image quality assessment and protocol optimization (CTPro) was introduced. A validated CHO tool, along with other common image quality assessment tools, was made readily accessible through this web platform for clinical users and researchers without the need of installing additional software. An example of its application to evaluation of convolutional-neural-network (CNN)-based denoising was demonstrated.
