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

background and purposeDWI is crucial for detecting infarction stroke. However, its spatial resolution is often limited, hindering accurate lesion visualization. Our aim was to evaluate the image quality and diagnostic confidence of deep learning (DL)-based super-resolution reconstruction for brain DWI of infarction stroke. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis retrospective study enrolled 114 consecutive participants who underwent brain DWI. The DWI images were reconstructed with 2 schemes: 1) DL-based super-resolution reconstruction (DWI

resultsA total of 114 DWI examinations constituted the study cohort. For the qualitative assessment, overall image quality, lesion conspicuity, and diagnostic confidence in infarction stroke lesions (lesion size <1.5 cm) improved by DWI

conclusionsCompared with the conventional compressed sensing reconstruction, the DL-based super-resolution reconstruction demonstrated superior image quality and was feasible for achieving higher diagnostic confidence in infarction stroke.
