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

purposeTo investigate the visibility of the lenticulostriate arteries (LSAs) in time-of-flight (TOF)-MR angiography (MRA) using compressed sensing (CS)-based deep learning (DL) image reconstruction by comparing its image quality with that obtained by the conventional CS algorithm.

methodsFive healthy volunteers were included. High-resolution TOF-MRA images with the reduction (R)-factor of 1 were acquired as full-sampling data. Images with R-factors of 2, 4, and 6 were then reconstructed using CS-DL and conventional CS (the combination of CS and sensitivity conceding; CS-SENSE) reconstruction, respectively. In the quantitative assessment, the number of visible LSAs (identified by two radiologists), length of each depicted LSA (evaluated by one radiological technologist), and normalized mean squared error (NMSE) value were assessed. In the qualitative assessment, the overall image quality and the visibility of the peripheral LSA were visually evaluated by two radiologists.

resultsIn the quantitative assessment of the DL-CS images, the number of visible LSAs was significantly higher than those obtained with CS-SENSE in the R-factors of 4 and 6 (Reader 1) and in the R-factor of 6 (Reader 2). The length of the depicted LSAs in the DL-CS images was significantly longer in the R-factor 6 compared to the CS-SENSE result. The NMSE value in CS-DL was significantly lower than in CS-SENSE for R-factors of 4 and 6. In the qualitative assessment of DL-CS images, the overall image quality was significantly higher than that obtained with CS-SENSE in the R-factors 4 and 6 (Reader 1) and in the R-factor 4 (Reader 2). The visibility of the peripheral LSA was significantly higher than that shown by CS-SENSE in all R-factors (Reader 1) and in the R-factors 2 and 4 (Reader 2).

conclusionCS-DL reconstruction demonstrated preserved image quality for the depiction of LSAs compared to the conventional CS-SENSE when the R-factor is elevated.
