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

backgroundSeveral deep learning-based methods have been proposed for addressing the long scanning time of magnetic resonance imaging. Most are trained using brain 3T magnetic resonance images, but is unclear whether performance is affected when applying these methods to different anatomical sites and at different field strengths. PURPOSE: To validate the denoising performance of deep learning-based reconstruction method trained by brain and knee 3T magnetic resonance images when applied to lumbar 1.5T magnetic resonance images. MATERIAL AND

methodsUsing a 1.5T scanner, we obtained lumber T2-weighted sequences in 10 volunteers using three different scanning times: 228 s (standard), 119 s (double-fast), and 68 s (triple-fast). We compared the images obtained by the standard sequence with those obtained by the deep learning-based reconstruction-applied faster sequences.

resultsSignal-to-noise ratio values were significantly higher for deep learning-based reconstruction-double-fast than for standard and did not differ significantly between deep learning-based reconstruction-triple-fast and standard. Contrast-to-noise ratio values also did not differ significantly between deep learning-based reconstruction-triple-fast and standard. Qualitative scores for perceived signal-to-noise ratio and overall image quality were significantly higher for deep learning-based reconstruction-double fast and deep learning-based reconstruction-triple-fast than for standard. Average scores for sharpness, contrast, and structure visibility were equal to or higher for deep learning-based reconstruction-double-fast and deep learning-based reconstruction-triple-fast than for standard, but the differences were not statistically significant. The average scores for artifact were lower for deep learning-based reconstruction-double-fast and deep learning-based reconstruction-triple-fast than for standard, but the differences were not statistically significant.

conclusionThe deep learning-based reconstruction method trained by 3T brain and knee images may reduce the scanning time of 1.5T lumbar magnetic resonance images by one-third without sacrificing image quality.
