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

The time-of-flight (TOF) information makes Orlov's condition not necessary for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. One-view imaging has never been attempted before. This paper investigates whether one-view imaging is possible. We claim that it is possible to obtain an image with measurements from only one-view, provided the TOF time resolution is good enough and the photon counts are high enough. In fact, the image value at a point can be reconstructed by measurements along one line-of-response (LOR) that passes through the point of interest. The region-of-interest (ROI) can be reconstructed with ray-by-ray deblurring methods, which make TOF PET a local tomography system. One-view imaging is a severely ill-posed problem if the TOF resolution is not good enough. One indicator of an ill-posed problem is the ringing artifacts in the reconstruction. We show that ringing artifacts can be eliminated by using the nonnegativity constraint for the dot-like objects with a zero background.
