Quantitative measurements of emphysema in ultra-high resolution computed tomography using model-based iterative reconstruction in comparison to that using hybrid iterative reconstruction.

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
The percentage of low attenuation volume ratio (LAVR), which is measured using computed tomography (CT), is an index of the severity of emphysema. For LAVR evaluation, ultra-high-resolution (U-HR) CT images are useful. To improve the image quality of U-HRCT, iterative reconstruction is used. There are two types of iterative reconstruction: hybrid iterative reconstruction (HIR) and model-based iterative reconstruction (MBIR). In this study, we physically and clinically evaluated U-HR images reconstructed with HIR and MBIR, and demonstrated the usefulness of U-HR images with MBIR for quantitative measurements of emphysema. Both images were reconstructed with a slice thickness of 0.25 mm and an image matrix size of 1024 × 1024 pixels. For physical evaluation, the modulation transfer function (MTF) and noise power spectrum (NPS) of HIR and MBIR were compared. For clinical evaluation, LAVR calculated from HIR and MBIR were compared using the Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed-rank test. In addition, the correlation between LAVR and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV
