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

significanceThe image reconstruction problem in quantitative photoacoustic tomography (QPAT) is an ill-posed inverse problem. Monte Carlo method for light transport can be utilized in solving this image reconstruction problem.

aimThe aim was to develop an adaptive image reconstruction method where the number of photon packets in Monte Carlo simulation is varied to achieve a sufficient accuracy with reduced computational burden. APPROACH: The image reconstruction problem was formulated as a minimization problem. An adaptive stochastic Gauss-Newton (A-SGN) method combined with Monte Carlo method for light transport was developed. In the algorithm, the number of photon packets used on Gauss-Newton (GN) iteration was varied utilizing a so-called norm test.

resultsThe approach was evaluated with numerical simulations. With the proposed approach, the number of photon packets needed for solving the inverse problem was significantly smaller than in a conventional approach where the number of photon packets was fixed for each GN iteration.

conclusionsThe A-SGN method with a norm test can be utilized in QPAT to provide accurate and computationally efficient solutions.
