Analysis of Volume Overestimation Artifacts in the Breast Outline Segmentation in Tomosynthesis.
Article in Proceedings of SPIE--the International Society for Optical Engineering, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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.
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
In digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), the reconstruction is calculated from x-ray projection images acquired over a small range of angles. One step in the reconstruction process is to identify the pixels that fall outside the shadow of the breast, to segment the breast from the background (air). In each projection, rays are back-projected from these pixels to the focal spot. All voxels along these rays are identified as air. By combining these results over all projections, a breast outline can be determined for the reconstruction. This paper quantifies the accuracy of this breast segmentation strategy in DBT. In this study, a physical phantom modeling a breast under compression was analyzed with a prototype next-generation tomosynthesis (NGT) system described in previous work. Multiple wires were wrapped around the phantom. Since the wires are thin and high contrast, their exact location can be determined from the reconstruction. Breast parenchyma was portrayed outside the outline defined by the wires. Specifically, the size of the phantom was overestimated along the posteroanterior (PA) direction;
