Automatic segmentation of the thumb trapeziometacarpal joint using parametric statistical shape modelling and random forest regression voting.

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.
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
We propose an automatic pipeline for creating shape modelling suitable parametric meshes of the trapeziometacarpal (TMC) joint from clinical CT images for the purpose of batch processing and analysis. The method uses 3D random forest regression voting (RFRV) with statistical shape model (SSM) segmentation. The method was demonstrated in a validation experiment involving 65 CT images, 15 of which were randomly selected to be excluded from the training set for testing. With mean root mean squared (RMS) errors of 1.066 mm and 0.632 mm for the first metacarpal and trapezial bones respectively, and a segmentation time of ~2 minutes per CT image, the preliminary results showed promise for providing accurate 3D meshes of TMC joint bones for batch processing.
