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 positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, image quality correlates with the injected [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) dose and acquisition time. If image quality improves from short-acquisition PET images via the super-resolution (SR) deep learning technique, it is possible to reduce the injected FDG dose. Therefore, the aim of this study was to clarify whether the SR deep learning technique could improve the image quality of the 50%-acquisition-time image to the level of that of the 100%-acquisition-time image. One-hundred-and-eight adult patients were enrolled in this retrospective observational study. The supervised data were divided into nine subsets for nested cross-validation. The mean peak signal-to-noise ratio and structural similarity in the SR-PET image were 31.3 dB and 0.931, respectively. The mean opinion scores of the 50% PET image, SR-PET image, and 100% PET image were 3.41, 3.96, and 4.23 for the lung level, 3.31, 3.80, and 4.27 for the liver level, and 3.08, 3.67, and 3.94 for the bowel level, respectively. Thus, the SR-PET image was more similar to the 100% PET image and subjectively improved the image quality, as compared to the 50% PET image. The use of the SR deep-learning technique can reduce the injected FDG dose and thus lower radiation exposure.
