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

X-ray acoustic computed tomography (XACT) suffers from low SNR and limited-view detection when only a limited number of detector channels are available. To address these limitations, we introduce a two-stage limited-view signal recovery framework that integrates frequency-aware denoising (FAD) diffusion with geometry-integrated masked autoencoders (GIMAE). FAD jointly models temporal and spectral noise characteristics to restore clean RF measurements, while GIMAE leverages detector-layout-guided masking to infer missing angular channels and reconstruct full-view RF sinograms from limited-view inputs. The recovered signals are subsequently used for XACT image reconstruction via time-reversal algorithm. Simulation and experimental evaluations using multiple X-ray irradiated patterns demonstrate substantial improvements in reconstruction fidelity, with the proposed method boosting SSIM by 31.1% in simulation and by 26.4% in experiments-closely matching full-view references and outperforming limited-view acquisitions. This framework provides an effective and practical solution for high-quality limited-view XACT imaging under realistic noise-dominated conditions.
