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

Quantitative cardiovascular PET/CT imaging is useful in the diagnosis of multiple cardiac perfusion and motion pathologies. The common approach for cardiac segmentation consists in using co-registered CT images, exploiting publicly available deep learning (DL)-based segmentation models. However, the mismatch between structural CT images and PET uptake limits the usefulness of these approaches. Besides, the performance of DL models is not consistent over low-dose or ultra-low-dose CT images commonly used in clinical PET/CT imaging. In this work, we developed a DL-based methodology to tackle this issue by segmenting directly cardiac PET images. This study included 406 cardiac PET images from 146 patients (43
