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

backgroundDynamic positron emission tomography (PET) images are useful in clinical practice because they can be used to calculate the metabolic parameters (K

methodsIn this paper, we use U-Net as a feature extractor to obtain feature vectors with a priori knowledge about the image structure of interest and then utilize a parameter generator to obtain five parameters for a two-tissue, three-compartment model and generate a time activity curve (TAC), which will become close to the original 1-h TAC through training. The above-generated dynamic PET image finally obtains the K

resultsA quantitative analysis showed that the network-generated K

conclusionsThe proposed method is feasible, and satisfactory PET quantification accuracy can be achieved using the proposed deep learning method. Further clinical validation is needed before implementing this approach in routine clinical applications.
