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 limited-angle tomography, the system of imaging equations is underdetermined, and a naïve reconstruction may not have any practical values. Additional information is needed to augment the data so that a useful image can be reconstructed. This additional information is usually implemented as a Bayesian term in the objective function for an iterative optimization procedure. The state-of-the-art augmented information is the total variation (TV) norm of the image. The TV norm enforces a smooth image with sharp edges. The novelty of this paper is a new Bayesian term that is in the form of a neural network. This neural network is a classifier trained by images reconstructed by full and limited-angle projections. The impact of the proposed method is that the information provided by the neural network contains more features of the images than the TV norm and better reconstruction is expected. Computer simulations are carried out and presented.
