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

Background: A multi detector computed tomography (CT) scanner with wide-area coverage enables whole-brain volumetric scanning in a single rotation. Purpose: To investigate variations in image-quality characteristics in the longitudinal direction for different image-reconstruction algorithms and strengths with phantoms. Material and methods: Single-rotation volume scans were performed on a 320-row multidetector CT volume scanner using three types of phantoms. Tube current was set to 200 mA (standard dose) and 50 mA (low dose). All images were reconstructed with filtered back projection (FBP), mild and strong levels with hybrid iterative reconstruction (HIR), and model-based IR (MBIR). Computed tomography numbers, image noise, noise power spectrum (NPS), task-based transfer function (TTF), and visual spatial resolution were used to evaluate uniformity of image quality in the longitudinal direction ( Results: The MBIR images showed smaller variation in CT numbers in the Conclusion: Model-based IR is the optimal image-reconstruction algorithm for single-volume scan of spherical subjects owing to its high in-plane resolution and uniformity of CT numbers, image noise, and NPS in the
