Latent space reconstruction for missing data problems in CT.
Article in Medical physics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
backgroundThe reconstruction of a computed tomography (CT) image can be compromised by artifacts, which, in many cases, reduce the diagnostic value of the image. These artifacts often result from missing or corrupt regions in the projection data, for example, by truncation, metal, or limited angle acquisitions. PURPOSE: In this work, we introduce a novel deep learning-based framework, latent space reconstruction (LSR), which enables correction of various types of artifacts arising from missing or corrupted data.
methodsFirst, we train a generative neural network on uncorrupted CT images. After training, we iteratively search for the point in the latent space of this network that best matches the compromised projection data we measured. Once an optimal point is found, forward-projection of the generated CT image can be used to inpaint the corrupted or incomplete regions of the measured raw data.
resultsWe used LSR to correct for truncation and metal artifacts. For the truncation artifact correction, images corrected by LSR show effective artifact suppression within the field of measurement (FOM), alongside a substantial high-quality extension of the FOM compared to other methods. For the metal artifact correction, images corrected by LSR demonstrate effective artifact reduction, providing a clearer view of the surrounding tissues and anatomical details.
conclusionsThe results indicate that LSR is effective in correcting metal and truncation artifacts. Furthermore, the versatility of LSR allows its application to various other types of artifacts resulting from missing or corrupt data.
