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

To reduce the potential risk of radiation to the patient, low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) has been widely adopted in clinical practice for reconstructing cross-sectional images using sinograms with reduced x-ray flux. The LDCT image quality is often degraded by different levels of noise depending on the low-dose protocols. The image quality will be further degraded when the patient has metallic implants, where the image suffers from additional streak artifacts along with further amplified noise levels, thus affecting the medical diagnosis and other CT-related applications. Previous studies mainly focused either on denoising LDCT without considering metallic implants or full-dose CT metal artifact reduction (MAR). Directly applying previous LDCT or MAR approaches to the issue of simultaneous metal artifact reduction and low-dose CT (MARLD) may yield sub-optimal reconstruction results. In this work, we develop a dual-domain under-to-fully-complete progressive restoration network, called DuDoUFNet, for MARLD. Our DuDoUFNet aims to reconstruct images with substantially reduced noise and artifact by progressive sinogram to image domain restoration with a two-stage progressive restoration network design. Our experimental results demonstrate that our method can provide high-quality reconstruction, superior to previous LDCT and MAR methods under various low-dose and metal settings.
