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

In reality, photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is generally influenced by artifacts caused by sparse array or limited view. In this work, to balance the computing cost and artifact removal performance, we propose an iterative optimization method that does not need to repeat solving forward model for every iteration circle, called the regularized iteration method with structural prior (RISP). The structural prior is a probability matrix derived from multiple reconstructed images via randomly selecting partial array elements. High-probability values indicate high coherency among multiple reconstruction results at those positions, suggesting a high likelihood of representing true imaging results. In contrast, low-probability values indicate higher randomness, leaning more towards artifacts or noise. As a structural prior, this probability matrix, together with the original PAI result using all array elements, guides the regularized iteration of the PAI results. The simulation and real animal and human PAI study results demonstrated our method can substantially reduce image artifacts, as well as noise.
