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

Zonal segmentation of the prostate gland using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is clinically important for prostate cancer (PCa) diagnosis and image-guided treatments. A two-dimensional convolutional neural network (CNN) based on the U-net architecture was evaluated for segmentation of the central gland (CG) and peripheral zone (PZ) using a dataset of 40 patients (34 PCa positive and 6 PCa negative) scanned on two different MRI scanners (1.5T GE and 3T Siemens). Images were cropped around the prostate gland to exclude surrounding tissues, resampled to
