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

Tomography experiments generate three-dimensional (3D) reconstructed slices from a series of two-dimensional (2D) projection images. However, the mechanical system generates joint offsets that result in unaligned 2D projections. This misalignment affects the reconstructed images and reduces their actual spatial resolution. In this study, we present a novel method called outer contour-based misalignment correction (OCMC) for correcting image misalignments in tomography. We use the sample's outer contour structure as auxiliary information to estimate the extent of misalignment in each image. This method is generic and can be used with various tomography imaging techniques. We validated our method with five datasets collected from different samples and across various tomography techniques. The OCMC method demonstrated significant advantages in terms alignment accuracy and time efficiency. As an end-to-end correction method, OCMC can be easily integrated into an online tomography data processing pipeline and facilitate feedback control in future synchrotron tomography experiments.
