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

The wideband microwave imaging system is a passive focal-plane imaging system which is used for large-scale, wideband electromagnetic interference source (EMS) imaging. The system is mainly composed of a parabolic reflecting surface and a multi-channel ultra-wideband signal acquisition system. However, due to the influence of manufacturing processes and the varied response characteristics of the sensors to different frequency radiation, the stripe noise exists in the obtained electromagnetic (EM) images, which severely affects the accuracy of localization. To solve this problem, an innovative wavelet deep unfolding network from the perspective of the transform domain is presented in this paper. The network fully considers the inherent characteristics of stripe noise and the complementary information between the coefficients of different wavelet sub-bands to accurately estimate stripe noise while minimizing computational cost. An iterative deep unfolding structure is employed to remove stripe noise by exploiting the correlation between adjacent row signals. It iteratively refines the noise estimation, using the output of each network iteration as input for the subsequent one. A bidirectional gated recurrent unit with a spatial attention mechanism is introduced to enhance the long-time correlation, thus separating the scene details from the stripe noise more thoroughly and restoring the details accurately. Furthermore, a novel stripe noise mathematical model and a wideband dataset are developed. These innovations enable the proposed algorithm to effectively handle dynamically varying noise in wideband. The extensive experiments on simulated and real data demonstrate that our proposed method outperforms several classical de-striping methods on both quantitative and qualitative assessments.
