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

objectiveTo evaluate the impact of deep learning-based image conversion on the accuracy of automated coronary artery calcium quantification using thin-slice, sharp-kernel, non-gated, low-dose chest computed tomography (LDCT) images collected from multiple institutions. MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 225 pairs of LDCT and calcium scoring CT (CSCT) images scanned at 120 kVp and acquired from the same patient within a 6-month interval were retrospectively collected from four institutions. Image conversion was performed for LDCT images using proprietary software programs to simulate conventional CSCT. This process included 1) deep learning-based kernel conversion of low-dose, high-frequency, sharp kernels to simulate standard-dose, low-frequency kernels, and 2) thickness conversion using the raysum method to convert 1-mm or 1.25-mm thickness images to 3-mm thickness. Automated Agaston scoring was conducted on the LDCT scans before (LDCT-Org

resultsLDCT-CONV

conclusionDeep learning-based conversion of LDCT images originally obtained with thin slices and a sharp kernel can enhance the accuracy of automated coronary artery calcium score measurement using the images.
