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 whether the image quality of 1.5 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the prostate is equal to or higher than that of 3 T MRI by applying deep learning reconstruction (DLR). To objectively analyze the images from the 13 healthy volunteers, we measured the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) of the images obtained by the 1.5 T scanner with and without DLR, as well as for images obtained by the 3 T scanner. In the subjective, T2W images of the prostate were visually evaluated by two board-certified radiologists. The SNRs and CNRs in 1.5 T images with DLR were higher than that in 3 T images. Subjective image scores were better for 1.5 T images with DLR than 3 T images. The use of the DLR technique in 1.5 T MRI substantially improved the SNR and image quality of T2W images of the prostate gland, as compared to 3 T MRI.
