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
backgroundDigital subtraction angiography (DSA) is most commonly used in vessel disease examinations and treatments. We aimed to develop a novel deep learning-based method to deblur the large focal spot DSA images, so as to obtain a clearer and sharper cerebrovascular DSA image.
methodsThe proposed network cascaded several residual dense blocks (RDBs), which contain dense connected layers and local residual learning. Several loss functions for image restoration were investigated. Our training set consisted of 52 paired images of angiography with more than 350,000 cropped patches. The testing set included 10 body phantoms and 80 clinical images of different types of diseases for subjective evaluation. All test images were acquired using a large focal spot, and phantom images were simultaneously acquired using a micro focal spot as ground-truth. Peak-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and structural similarity (SSIM) were determined for quantitative analysis. The deblurring results were compared with the original data, and the image quality was subjectively evaluated and graded by two clinicians.
resultsFor quantitative analysis of phantom images, the average PSNR/SSIM based on the deep-learning approach (35.34/0.9566) was better than that of large focal spot images (30.64/0.9163). For subjective evaluation of 80 clinical patient images, image quality in all types of cerebrovascular diseases was also improved based on a deep-learning approach (
conclusionsDeep learning-based focal spot deblur algorithm can efficiently improve DSA image quality for better visualization of blood vessels and lesions in the image.
