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

backgroundElectroacoustic tomography (EAT) is an emerging imaging technique with potential for guiding electroporation therapy. However, in clinical applications, EAT scan is typically limited to a single view acquisition, leading to severe artifacts in the reconstruction. PURPOSE: This study aims to develop novel deep-learning models to substantially enhance the image quality of the single-view EAT reconstruction.

methodsWe proposed a two-stage deep learning model (EXPP-Net) to address the limited view problem in EAT image reconstruction. The two-stage model comprises extrapolation and post-processing sub-models. The extrapolation sub-model receives a single-view sinogram u

resultsThe quality of EAT images reconstructed from single-view acquisition was substantially improved by EXPP-Net, showing good agreement with full-view images (linear-array probe study: RMSE: 0.0033 ± 0.0023, SSIM: 0.9968 ± 0.0059, median DICE ≥ 0.9450; convex-array probe study: RMSE: 0.0083 ± 0.0034, SSIM: 0.9958 ± 0.0038, median DICE ≥ 0.8837). In vivo results demonstrated substantial distortion correction. Comparison with the prior method on RMSE, SSIM, and DICE yielded large effect sizes (|β/σ| > 0.8), with all comparisons reaching statistical significance (p < 0.05).

conclusionsThe proposed model generated full-view EAT imaging from a single-view sinogram, substantially improving the quality and precision of EAT. These results suggest its potential for real-time electroporation verification.
