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 this study, a novel combination of hybrid generative adversarial networks (GANs) comprising cycle-consistent GAN, pix2pix, and (mask pyramid network) MPN (CGpM-metal artifact reduction [MAR]), was developed using projection data to reduce metal artifacts and the radiation dose during digital tomosynthesis. The CGpM-MAR algorithm was compared with the conventional filtered back projection (FBP) without MAR, FBP with MAR, and convolutional neural network MAR. The MAR rates were compared using the artifact index (AI) and Gumbel distribution of the largest variation analysis using a prosthesis phantom at various radiation doses. The novel CGpM-MAR yielded an adequately effective overall performance in terms of AI. The resulting images yielded good results independently of the type of metal used in the prosthesis phantom (
