An improved Wexler algorithm for electrical impedance tomography using finite element method and gradient based overrelaxation.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a method of internal imaging that requires fast, reliable reconstruction algorithms, especially as wearable technology becomes more popular. We introduce consecutive improvements to the historic Wexler scheme. Firstly, we express it in a form suitable for the finite element method. Furthermore, the algorithm is overrelaxed. The step size is variable and depends on the change in the gradient of the objective function, which improves convergence. The new, simpler electrode model further enhances image quality. We also propose a method for finding the initial conductivity. Those changes bring the scheme on par with standard algorithms such as NOSER and Gauss-Newton with total variational regularization. Moreover, we demonstrate its ability to scale with large-mesh tests.
