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

Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is an emerging hybrid imaging technology that combines the advantages of optical and ultrasound imaging. Despite its excellent imaging capabilities, PAI still faces numerous challenges in clinical applications, particularly sparse spatial sampling and limited view detection. These limitations often result in severe streak artifacts and blurring when using standard methods to reconstruct images from incomplete data. In this work, we propose an improved convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture, called multi-scale dense UNet (MSD-Net), to correct artifacts in 2D photoacoustic tomography (PAT). MSD-Net exploits the advantages of multi-scale information fusion and dense connections to improve the performance of CNN. Experimental validation with both simulated and
