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

objectiveDeep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a disease caused by abnormal blood clots in deep veins. Accurate segmentation of DVT is important to facilitate the diagnosis and treatment. In the current study, we proposed a fully automatic method of DVT delineation based on deep learning (DL) and contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (CE-MRI) images.

methods58 patients (25 males; 28~96 years old) with newly diagnosed lower extremity DVT were recruited. CE-MRI was acquired on a 1.5 T system. The ground truth (GT) of DVT lesions was manually contoured. A DL network with an encoder-decoder architecture was designed for DVT segmentation. 8-Fold cross-validation strategy was applied for training and testing. Dice similarity coefficient (DSC) was adopted to evaluate the network's performance.

resultsIt took about 1.5s for our CNN model to perform the segmentation task in a slice of MRI image. The mean DSC of 58 patients was 0.74± 0.17 and the median DSC was 0.79. Compared with other DL models, our CNN model achieved better performance in DVT segmentation (0.74± 0.17 versus 0.66±0.15, 0.55±0.20, and 0.57±0.22).

conclusionOur proposed DL method was effective and fast for fully automatic segmentation of lower extremity DVT.
