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

Detection of a pulmonary fissure in lungs is difficult due to its anatomical changeability among humans and it is essential in the clinical environment for accurate localizing and treating the lung abnormalities on a lobe level in human lungs. In this work, an algorithmic approach is proposed to detect the lung oblique fissures from lung computed tomography (CT) images. In the preprocessing module of our approach, the lung structures are enhanced using morphological operation and lung images are de-noised using Wiener filter. In the second module, lung regions are segmented using techniques, namely, thresholding and background subtraction. In the third module of our algorithm, initially, fissure regions are segmented using the active contour model, then by applying the rule based approach on the fissure regions, the oblique fissures are segmented. The proposed algorithm has been tested on 50 images collected from Lung Image Database Consortium (LIDC) and 30 images obtained from Early Lung Cancer Action Program (ELCAP).
