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

Objective: To develop a contrast learning-based generative (CLG) model for the generation of high-quality synthetic computed tomography (sCT) from low-quality cone-beam CT (CBCT). The CLG model improves the performance of deformable image registration (DIR). Methods: This study included 100 post-breast-conserving patients with the pCT images, CBCT images, and the target contours, which the physicians delineated. The CT images were generated from CBCT images Results: The DSC, HD95, and ASD of the target contours with the proposed method were 0.87 ± 0.04, 4.55 ± 2.18, and 1.41 ± 0.56, respectively. Compared with the traditional method without the synthetic CT assisted (0.86 ± 0.05, 5.17 ± 2.60, and 1.55 ± 0.72), the proposed method was outperformed, especially in the soft tissue target, such as the tumor bed region. Conclusion: The CLG model proposed in this study can create the high-quality sCT from low-quality CBCT and improve the performance of DIR between the CBCT and the pCT. The target segmentation accuracy is better than using the traditional DIR.
