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.

Abstract

Brain atlases are an essential component in understanding the dynamic cerebral development, especially for the early postnatal period. However, longitudinal atlases are rare for infants, and the existing ones are generally limited by their fuzzy appearance. Moreover, since longitudinal atlas construction is typically performed independently over time, the constructed atlases often fail to preserve temporal consistency. This problem is further aggravated for infant images since they typically have low spatial resolution and insufficient tissue contrast. In this paper, we propose a novel framework for consistent spatial-temporal construction of longitudinal atlases for developing infant brain MR images. Specifically, for preserving structural details, the atlas construction is performed in spatial-temporal wavelet domain simultaneously. This is achieved by a patch-based combination of results from each frequency subband. Compared with the existing infant longitudinal atlases, our experimental results indicate that our approach is able to produce longitudinal atlases with richer structural details and also better longitudinal consistency, thus leading to higher performance when used for spatial normalization of a group of infant brain images.
