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

Although deep learning for application in positron emission tomography (PET) image reconstruction has attracted the attention of researchers, the image quality must be further improved. In this study, we propose a novel convolutional neural network (CNN)-based fast time-of-flight PET (TOF-PET) image reconstruction method to fully utilize the direction information of coincidence events. The proposed method inputs view-grouped histo-images into a 3D CNN as a multi-channel image to use the direction information of such events. We evaluated the proposed method using Monte Carlo simulation data obtained from a digital brain phantom. Compared with a case without direction information, the peak signal-to-noise ratio and structural similarity were improved by 1.2 dB and 0.02, respectively, at a coincidence time resolution of 300 ps. The calculation times of the proposed method were significantly lower than those of a conventional iterative reconstruction. These results indicate that the proposed method improves both the speed and image quality of a TOF-PET image reconstruction.
