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

objectivesTo investigate the utility of deep learning (DL)-based image reconstruction using a model-based approach in head and neck diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). MATERIALS AND

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed the cases of 41 patients who underwent head/neck DWI. The DWI in 25 patients demonstrated an untreated lesion. We performed qualitative and quantitative assessments in the DWI analyses with both deep learning (DL)- and conventional parallel imaging (PI)-based reconstructions. For the qualitative assessment, we visually evaluated the overall image quality, soft tissue conspicuity, degree of artifact(s), and lesion conspicuity based on a five-point system. In the quantitative assessment, we measured the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the bilateral parotid glands, submandibular gland, the posterior muscle, and the lesion. We then calculated the contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) between the lesion and the adjacent muscle.

resultsSignificant differences were observed in the qualitative analysis between the DWI with PI-based and DL-based reconstructions for all of the evaluation items (p < 0.001). In the quantitative analysis, significant differences in the SNR and CNR between the DWI with PI-based and DL-based reconstructions were observed for all of the evaluation items (p = 0.002 ~ p < 0.001). DISCUSSION: DL-based image reconstruction with the model-based technique effectively provided sufficient image quality in head/neck DWI.
