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

This study aimed to evaluate the ability of deep learning reconstruction (DLR) compared to that of hybrid iterative reconstruction (IR) to depict small vessels on computed tomography (CT). DLR and two types of hybrid IRs were used for image reconstruction. The target vessels were the basilar artery (BA), superior cerebellar artery (SCA), anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA), and posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA). The peak value, ΔCT values defined as the difference between the peak value and background, and full width at half maximum (FWHM), were obtained from the profile curves. In all target vessels, the peak and ΔCT values of DLR were significantly higher than those of the two types of hybrid IR (p < 0.001). Compared to that associated with hybrid IR, the FWHM of DLR was significantly lower in the SCA (p < 0.001), AICA (p < 0.001), and PICA (p < 0.001). In conclusion, DLR has the potential to improve visualization of small vessels.
