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

objectiveWe compared a super-resolution deep learning image reconstruction (SR-DLR) algorithm with a normal-resolution (NR)-DLR algorithm according to radiation dose for abdominal computed tomography (CT). MATERIALS AND

methodsAn image-quality phantom was scanned with an energy-integrating detectors CT unit at three volume CT dose index radiation dose levels (12.7, 5.9, and 3 mGy). Images were reconstructed using a 1,024

resultsNoise magnitude values were lower with SR-DLR than with NR-DLR for level-2 (-27.6 ± 3.8%) and level-3 (-43.5 ± 1.4%), the opposite for level-1. Average NPS spatial frequency was higher with SR-DLR than with NR-DLR for all radiation dose levels for level-1 (55.9 ± 16.7%) and level-2 (20.1 ± 13.9%) and the opposite for level-3, except at 12.7 mGy. For both inserts, f

conclusionCompared to NR-DLR, SR-DLR improved spatial resolution and detectability of simulated abdominal lesions; image noise was reduced with SR-DLR only for level-2 and level-3, while image texture was better for level-1 and level-2. RELEVANCE STATEMENT: Super-resolution DLR with a 1,024 KEY POINTS: The performance of a new deep learning super-resolution image reconstruction algorithm (SR-DLR) was compared to a normal-resolution (NR)-DLR algorithm using an image-quality phantom for an abdominal energy-integrating detector CT protocol.
