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

purposeA high-energy-resolution whole-body SPECT-CT device (NM/CT 870 CZT; C-SPECT) equipped with a CZT detector has been developed and is being used clinically. A MEHRS collimator has also been developed recently, with an expected improvement in imaging accuracy using medium-energy radionuclides. The objective of this study was to compare and analyze the accuracies of the following devices: a WEHR collimator and the MEHRS collimator installed on a C-SPECT, and a NaI scintillation detector-equipped Anger-type SPECT (A-SPECT) scanner, with a LEHR and LMEGP.

methodsA line phantom was used to measure the energy resolutions including collimator characteristics in the planar acquisition of each device using

resultsThe energy resolution with

conclusionC-SPECT demonstrates excellent energy resolution and improved high-contrast resolution for each radionuclide. In addition, when using 123I, careful attention should be paid to SW for scatter correction. By setting the appropriate SW, C-SPECT with MEHRS has an excellent scattered ray removal effect, and highly homogenous imaging is possible while maintaining the high-contrast resolution.
