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

Extensions to auto-context segmentation are proposed and applied to segmentation of multiple organs in porcine offal as a component of an envisaged system for post-mortem inspection at abbatoir. In common with multi-part segmentation of many biological objects, challenges include variations in configuration, orientation, shape, and appearance, as well as inter-part occlusion and missing parts. Auto-context uses context information about inferred class labels and can be effective in such settings. Whereas auto-context uses a fixed prior atlas, we describe an adaptive atlas method better suited to represent the multimodal distribution of segmentation maps. We also design integral context features to enhance context representation. These methods are evaluated on a dataset captured at abbatoir and compared to a method based on conditional random fields. Results demonstrate the appropriateness of auto-context and the beneficial effects of the proposed extensions for this application.
