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

purposeMinimally invasive surgery is often built upon a time-consuming preoperative step consisting of segmentation and trajectory planning. At the temporal bone, a complete automation of these two tasks might lead to faster interventions and more reproducible results, benefiting clinical workflow and patient health.

methodsWe propose an automatic segmentation and trajectory planning pipeline for image-guided interventions at the temporal bone. For segmentation, we use a shape regularized deep learning approach that is capable of automatically detecting even the cluttered tiny structures specific for this anatomy. We then perform trajectory planning for both linear and nonlinear interventions on these automatically segmented risk structures.

resultsWe evaluate the usability of segmentation algorithms for planning access canals to the cochlea and the internal auditory canal on 24 CT data sets of real patients. Our new approach achieves similar results to the existing semiautomatic method in terms of Dice but provides more accurate organ shapes for the subsequent trajectory planning step. The source code of the algorithms is publicly available.

conclusionAutomatic segmentation and trajectory planning for various clinical procedures at the temporal bone are feasible. The proposed automatic pipeline leads to an efficient and unbiased workflow for preoperative planning.
