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

In SPECT, list-mode (LM) format allows storing data at higher precision compared to binned data. There is significant interest in investigating whether this higher precision translates to improved performance on clinical tasks. Towards this goal, in this study, we quantitatively investigated whether processing data in LM format, and in particular, the energy attribute of the detected photon, provides improved performance on the task of absolute quantification of region-of-interest (ROI) uptake in comparison to processing the data in binned format. We conducted this evaluation study using a DaTscan brain SPECT acquisition protocol, conducted in the context of imaging patients with Parkinson's disease. This study was conducted with a synthetic phantom. A signal-known exactly/background-known-statistically (SKE/BKS) setup was considered. An ordered-subset expectation-maximization algorithm was used to reconstruct images from data acquired in LM format, including the scatter-window data, and including the energy attribute of each LM event. Using a realistic 2-D SPECT system simulation, quantification tasks were performed on the reconstructed images. The results demonstrated improved quantification performance when LM data was used compared to binning the attributes in all the conducted evaluation studies. Overall, we observed that LM data, including the energy attribute, yielded improved performance on absolute quantification tasks compared to binned data.
