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

Segmentation of the left ventricle (LV) from three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) plays a key role in the clinical diagnosis of the LV function. In this work, we proposed a new automatic method for the segmentation of LV, based on the fully convolutional networks (FCN) and deformable model. This method implemented a coarse-to-fine framework. Firstly, a new deep fusion network based on feature fusion and transfer learning, combining the residual modules, was proposed to achieve coarse segmentation of LV on 3DE. Secondly, we proposed a method of geometrical model initialization for a deformable model based on the results of coarse segmentation. Thirdly, the deformable model was implemented to further optimize the segmentation results with a regularization item to avoid the leakage between left atria and left ventricle to achieve the goal of fine segmentation of LV. Numerical experiments have demonstrated that the proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods on the challenging CETUS benchmark in the segmentation accuracy and has a potential for practical applications.
