Deep Learning Image Reconstruction for CT: Technical Principles and Clinical Prospects.
Review in Radiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 188 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Filtered back projection (FBP) has been the standard CT image reconstruction method for 4 decades. A simple, fast, and reliable technique, FBP has delivered high-quality images in several clinical applications. However, with faster and more advanced CT scanners, FBP has become increasingly obsolete. Higher image noise and more artifacts are especially noticeable in lower-dose CT imaging using FBP. This performance gap was partly addressed by model-based iterative reconstruction (MBIR). Yet, its "plastic" image appearance and long reconstruction times have limited widespread application. Hybrid iterative reconstruction partially addressed these limitations by blending FBP with MBIR and is currently the state-of-the-art reconstruction technique. In the past 5 years, deep learning reconstruction (DLR) techniques have become increasingly popular. DLR uses artificial intelligence to reconstruct high-quality images from lower-dose CT faster than MBIR. However, the performance of DLR algorithms relies on the quality of data used for model training. Higher-quality training data will become available with photon-counting CT scanners. At the same time, spectral data would greatly benefit from the computational abilities of DLR. This review presents an overview of the principles, technical approaches, and clinical applications of DLR, including metal artifact reduction algorithms. In addition, emerging applications and prospects are discussed.
