Deep learning fully convolution network for lumen characterization in diabetic patients using carotid ultrasound: a tool for stroke risk.
Article in Medical & biological engineering & computing, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 35 papers.
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.
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
Manual ultrasound (US)-based methods are adapted for lumen diameter (LD) measurement to estimate the risk of stroke but they are tedious, error prone, and subjective causing variability. We propose an automated deep learning (DL)-based system for lumen detection. The system consists of a combination of two DL systems: encoder and decoder for lumen segmentation. The encoder employs a 13-layer convolution neural network model (CNN) for rich feature extraction. The decoder employs three up-sample layers of fully convolution network (FCN) for lumen segmentation. Three sets of manual tracings were used during the training paradigm leading to the design of three DL systems. Cross-validation protocol was implemented for all three DL systems. Using the polyline distance metric, the precision of merit for three DL systems over 407 US scans was 99.61%, 97.75%, and 99.89%, respectively. The Jaccard index and Dice similarity of DL lumen segmented region against three ground truth (GT) regions were 0.94, 0.94, and 0.93 and 0.97, 0.97, and 0.97, respectively. The corresponding AUC for three DL systems was 0.95, 0.91, and 0.93. The experimental results demonstrated superior performance of proposed deep learning system over conventional methods in literature. Graphical abstract ᅟ.
