Assessment of Image Quality in Chest CT With Precision Matrix and Increased Framing Rate Using Single Source CT: A Phantom Study.
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
BACKGROUND/
aimThe aim was to evaluate the effect of a combined precision matrix and high sampling rate on the delineation of anatomical structures and objective image quality in single source CT in a qualitative approach. MATERIALS AND
methodsAn anthropomorphic thoracic phantom was used to evaluate the objective image quality parameters, including image noise, noise power spectrum, image stepness and Q for different CT scanners including high/standard matrix and framing frequency setups. Scan parameters were standardized over all scanners. Additional subjective quality assessment was also performed.
resultsA linear mixed effects model was used to determine the effect of sampling rate and image matrix on objective image quality parameters. Noise power spectrum and image noise were significantly influenced by both framing frequency and image matrix. There were significant differences between high and standard frequency/matrix acquisitions.
conclusionHigher framing frequency and image matrix allows for improved image noise texture and objective image quality in CT.
