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

backgroundConventional MR acceleration techniques, such as compressed sensing, parallel imaging, and half Fourier often face limitations, including noise amplification, reduced signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and increased susceptibility to artifacts, which can compromise image quality, especially in high-speed acquisitions. Artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted compressed sensing (ACS) has emerged as a novel approach that combines the conventional techniques with advanced AI algorithms. The objective of this study was to examine the imaging quality of the ACS approach by qualitative and quantitative analysis for brain, spine, kidney, liver, and knee MR imaging, as well as compare the performance of this method with conventional (non-ACS) MR imaging.

methodsThis study included 50 subjects. Three radiologists independently assessed the quality of MR images based on artefacts, image sharpness, overall image quality and diagnostic efficacy. SNR, contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), edge content (EC), enhancement measure (EME), scanning time were used for quantitative evaluation. The Cohen's kappa correlation coefficient (k) was employed to measure radiologists' inter-observer agreement, and the Mann Whitney U-test used for comparison between non-ACS and ACS.

resultsThe qualitative analysis of three radiologists demonstrated that ACS images showed superior clinical information than non-ACS images with a mean k of ~ 0.70. The images acquired with ACS approach showed statistically higher values (p < 0.05) for SNR, CNR, EC, and EME compared to the non-ACS images. Furthermore, the study's findings indicated that ACS-enabled images reduced scan time by more than 50% while maintaining high imaging quality.

conclusionIntegrating ACS technology into routine clinical settings has the potential to speed up image acquisition, improve image quality, and enhance diagnostic procedures and patient throughput.
