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

purposeImage fusion of different imaging modalities renders valuable information to clinicians. In this paper, we proposed an automatic multimodal registration method to register intra-operative ultrasound images (US) to preoperative magnetic resonance images (MRI) in the context of image-guided neurosurgery.

methodsWe employed refined correlation ratio as a similarity metric for our intensity-based image registration method. We deem MRI as the fixed image ([Formula: see text]) and US as the moving image ([Formula: see text]) and then transform [Formula: see text] to align with [Formula: see text]. We utilized the covariance matrix adaptation evolutionary strategy to find the optimal affine transformation in registration of [Formula: see text] to [Formula: see text].

resultsWe applied our method on the publicly available retrospective evaluation of cerebral tumors (RESECT) database and Montreal Neurological Institute's brain images of tumors for evaluation (BITE) database. We validated the results qualitatively and quantitatively. Qualitative validation is conducted (by the three authors) through overlaying pre- and post-registration US and MRI to allow visual assessment of the alignment. Quantitative validation is performed by utilizing the corresponding landmarks in the databases for the preoperative MRI and the intra-operative US. Average mean target registration error (mTRE) has been reduced from [Formula: see text] to [Formula: see text] in 22 patients in the RESECT database and from [Formula: see text] to [Formula: see text] in the BITE database. A nonparametric statistical analysis performed using the Wilcoxon rank sum test shows that there is a significant difference between pre- and post-registration mTREs with a p value of [Formula: see text] for the RESECT database and [Formula: see text] for the BITE database.

conclusionsThe proposed fully automatic registration method significantly improved the alignment of MRI and US images and can therefore be used to reduce the misalignment of US and MRI caused by brain shift, calibration errors, and patient to MRI transformation matrix.
