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

purposeLifelong re-examination of CT enterography (CTE) in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may be necessary, and reducing radiation exposure during CT examinations is crucial. We investigated the potential application of deep learning reconstruction (DLR) in CTE to reduce radiation dose and improve image quality in IBD.

methodsThirty-six patients with known or suspected IBD were prospectively recruited to the low-dose CTE (LDCTE) group, while forty patients were retrospectively selected from previous clinical standard-dose CTE (STDCTE) scans as controls. STDCTE images were reconstructed with hybrid-IR (adaptive iterative dose reduction 3-dimensional [AIDR3D], standard setting); LDCTE images were reconstructed with AIDR3D and DLR (Advanced Intelligence ClearIQ Engine [AiCE], Body mild/standard/strong, Sharp Body mild/standard/strong setting). The effective radiation dose (ED), image noise, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), overall image quality, subjective image noise, and diagnostic effectiveness were compared between the LDCTE and STDCTE groups.

resultsCompared with STDCTE, the ED of LDCTE was lower by 54.1% (p<0.001). Compared with STDCTE-AIDR3D, LDCTE-AIDR3D reconstruction objective image noise and SNR were greater (p<0.05), the subjective overall image quality was lower (p<0.05), and the diagnostic efficiency was lower (AUC=0.52, p<0.05). The SNRs of reconstructedimages of LDCTE-AiCE Body Strong and LDCTE-AiCE Body Sharp standard/strong groups were greater than that of STDCTE-AIDR3D group (all p<0.05), and the diagnostic performance was better than or comparable to that of STDCTE; the AUCs were 0.83, 0.76 and 0.76, respectively

conclusionCompared with STDCTE with AIDR3D, LDCTE with DLR effectively reduced the radiation dose and improve image quality in IBD patients.
