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

The extremely low tissue contrast in white matter during an infant's isointense stage (6-8 months) of brain development presents major difficulty when segmenting brain image regions for analysis. We sought to develop a label-fusion-aided deep-learning approach for automatically segmenting isointense infant brain images into white matter, gray matter and cerebrospinal fluid using T1- and T2-weighted magnetic resonance images. A key idea of our approach is to apply the fully convolutional neural network (FCNN) to individual brain regions determined by a traditional registration-based segmentation method instead of training a single model for the whole brain. This provides more refined segmentation results by capturing more region-specific features. We show that this method outperforms traditional joint label fusion and FCNN-only methods in terms of Dice coefficients using the dataset from iSEG MICCAI Grand Challenge 2017.
