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.

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.

Abstract

backgroundWe evaluate the Omni Legend 32 cm (OMNI6R), a digital-BGO PET/CT using the deep learning (DL) based algorithm, Precision Deep Learning (PDL), emulating time-of-flight (TOF) enhancement and compare its performance to the TOF-equipped Discovery-MI 25 cm (DMI5R) in terms of detection sensitivity, quantification, and overall image quality.

methodsThirty patients were administered with an average single dose of 2 MBq/kg [

resultsTPR were 84.67% (95% CI 80.04-89.29%) and 84.44% (95% CI 77.76-91.13%) respectively for DMI5R and OMNI6R-PDL-High, and demonstrated non-inferiority. OMNI6R-PDL-High yielded higher RC without overestimation for all ISL sizes. Remarkably, these findings were observed despite a 9% activity decay in ISL and a 40% reduction in whole-body acquisition time. All PDL settings led to increased average median scores across clinical quality metrics, surpassing the DMI5R in most cases.

conclusionsOMNI6R using PDL-High demonstrated non-inferior diagnostic performance compared to DMI5R, as evidenced by ISL detection sensitivity and quantitation. Importantly, the use of OMNI-PDL-High did not increase the risk of false-negative findings, despite reductions in activity and acquisition time. OMNI6R using PDL enhances overall image quality while improving clinical workflow and patient comfort. These results support DL-based enhancement algorithms as effective solutions for non-TOF PET imaging. Trial registration number and date of registration: NCT05154877, December 13th 2021.
