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

It is necessary to extract target specimens from bioholographic images for high-level analysis such as object identification, recognition, and tracking with the advent of application of digital holographic microscopy to transparent or semi-transparent biological specimens. We present an interactive graph cuts approach to segment the needed target specimens in the reconstructed bioholographic images. This method combines both regional and boundary information and is robust to extract targets with weak boundaries. Moreover, this technique can achieve globally optimal results while minimizing an energy function. We provide a convenient user interface, which can easily differentiate the foreground/background for various types of holographic images, as well as a dynamically modified coefficient, which specifies the importance of the regional and boundary information. The extracted results from our scheme have been compared with those from an advanced level-set-based segmentation method using an unbiased comparison algorithm. Experimental results show that this interactive graph cut technique can not only extract different kinds of target specimens in bioholographic images, but also yield good results when there are multiple similar objects in the holographic image or when the object boundaries are very weak.
