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

Marčenko-Pastur PCA (MPPCA) denoising is emerging as an effective means for noise suppression in MR imaging (MRI) acquisitions with redundant dimensions. However, MPPCA performance can be severely compromised by spatially correlated noise-an issue typically affecting most modern MRI acquisitions-almost to the point of returning the original images with little or no noise removal. In this study, we explore different threshold criteria for principal component analysis (PCA) component classification that enable efficient and robust denoising of MRI data even when noise exhibits high spatial correlations, especially in cases where data are acquired with Partial Fourier and when only magnitude data are available. We show that efficient denoising can be achieved by incorporating a-priori information about the noise variance into PCA denoising thresholding. Based on this, two denoising strategies developed here are: 1) General PCA (GPCA) denoising that uses a-priori noise variance estimates without assuming specific noise distributions; and 2) Threshold PCA (TPCA) denoising which removes noise components with a threshold computed from a-priori estimated noise variance to determine the upper bound of the Marčenko-Pastur (MP) distribution. These strategies were tested in simulations with known ground truth and applied for denoising diffusion MRI data acquired using pre-clinical (16.4T) and clinical (3T) MRI scanners. In synthetic phantoms, MPPCA denoising failed to denoise spatially correlated data, while GPCA and TPCA better classified components as dominated by signal/noise. In cases where the noise variance was not accurately estimated (as can be the case in many practical scenarios), TPCA still provides excellent denoising performance. Our experiments in pre-clinical diffusion data with highly corrupted by spatial correlated noise revealed that both GPCA and TPCA robustly denoised the data while MPPCA denoising failed. In
