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

The accelerating magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reconstruction process is a challenging ill-posed inverse problem due to the excessive under-sampling operation in k -space. In this paper, we propose a recurrent Transformer model, namely ReconFormer, for MRI reconstruction, which can iteratively reconstruct high-fidelity magnetic resonance images from highly under-sampled k -space data (e.g., up to 8× acceleration). In particular, the proposed architecture is built upon Recurrent Pyramid Transformer Layers (RPTLs). The core design of the proposed method is Recurrent Scale-wise Attention (RSA), which jointly exploits intrinsic multi-scale information at every architecture unit as well as the dependencies of the deep feature correlation through recurrent states. Moreover, benefiting from its recurrent nature, ReconFormer is lightweight compared to other baselines and only contains 1.1 M trainable parameters. We validate the effectiveness of ReconFormer on multiple datasets with different magnetic resonance sequences and show that it achieves significant improvements over the state-of-the-art methods with better parameter efficiency. The implementation code and pre-trained weights are available at https://github.com/guopengf/ReconFormer.
