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

We address the problem of prostate lesion detection, localization, and segmentation in T2W magnetic resonance (MR) images. We train a deep convolutional encoder-decoder architecture to simultaneously segment the prostate, its anatomical structure, and the malignant lesions. To incorporate the 3D contextual spatial information provided by the MRI series, we propose a novel 3D sliding window approach, which preserves the 2D domain complexity while exploiting 3D information. Experiments on data from 19 patients provided for the public by the Initiative for Collaborative Computer Vision Benchmarking (I2CVB) show that our approach outperforms traditional pattern recognition and machine learning approaches by a significant margin. Particularly, for the task of cancer detection and localization, the system achieves an average AUC of 0.995, an accuracy of 0.894, and a recall of 0.928. The proposed mono-modal deep learning-based system performs comparably to other multi-modal MR-based systems. It could improve the performance of a radiologist in prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment planning.
