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
introduction
methodsThe average images of eight subjects, demonstrating normal-type and egg-shape-type tracer accumulation in
resultsResults showed significant and robust linearity in the striatal accumulation ratios for all templates when compared with the occipital lobe accumulation ratio when using the MRI-based method. Comparing intra-class correlations for different linearities, the ATR method and split-ATR method demonstrated higher linearity in the striatum, caudate, and putamen. The split-ATR method showed similar improvements, although more linearity than some of the ATR methods; the effectiveness of the Split-ATR method may vary by image quality, and further validation of its effectiveness in diverse asymmetric accumulation cases seemed warranted.
conclusionThe use of optimized templates, such as the ATR and split-ATR methods, improved reproducibility in fully automated processing and demonstrated superior linearity compared to that of MRI-based method, in the ratio to the occipital lobe. The ATR method, which enables morphological standardization when using SPECT images only, proved highly reproducible for clinical quantitative analysis of striatal accumulation, facilitating its clinical use.
