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

Motion artefacts caused by the patient's body movements affect magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) accuracy. This study aimed to compare and evaluate the accuracy of motion artefacts correction using a conditional generative adversarial network (CGAN) with an autoencoder and U-net models. The training dataset consisted of motion artefacts generated through simulations. Motion artefacts occur in the phase encoding direction, which is set to either the horizontal or vertical direction of the image. To create T2-weighted axial images with simulated motion artefacts, 5500 head images were used in each direction. Of these data, 90% were used for training, while the remainder were used for the evaluation of image quality. Moreover, the validation data used in the model training consisted of 10% of the training dataset. The training data were divided into horizontal and vertical directions of motion artefact appearance, and the effect of combining this data with the training dataset was verified. The resulting corrected images were evaluated using structural image similarity (SSIM) and peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), and the metrics were compared with the images without motion artefacts. The best improvements in the SSIM and PSNR were observed in the consistent condition in the direction of the occurrence of motion artefacts in the training and evaluation datasets. However, SSIM > 0.9 and PSNR > 29 dB were accomplished for the learning model with both image directions. The latter model exhibited the highest robustness for actual patient motion in head MRI images. Moreover, the image quality of the corrected image with the CGAN was the closest to that of the original image, while the improvement rates for SSIM and PSNR were approximately 26% and 7.7%, respectively. The CGAN model demonstrated a high image reproducibility, and the most significant model was the consistent condition of the learning model and the direction of the appearance of motion artefacts.
