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

Automatic or semi-automatic segmentation of tissue types or organs is well established for X-ray-based computed tomography, with its fixed grey-scale and tissue classes with well-established ranges of Hounsfield units. MRI is much more powerful with regard to soft tissue contrast and quantitative assessment of tissue properties (e.g., perfusion, diffusion, fat content), but the principle of signal generation and recording in MRI leads to inherent problems if simple threshold based segmentation procedures are applied. In this editorial in the special issue of MAGMA on tissue segmentation, a number of relevant methodical, scientific, and clinical aspects of reliable tissue segmentation using data recording by MRI are reported and discussed.
