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

purposeWe aim to perform generation of angiograms for various vascular structures as a mean of data augmentation in learning tasks. The task is to enhance the realism of vessels images generated from an anatomically realistic cardiorespiratory simulator to make them look like real angiographies.

methodsThe enhancement is performed by applying the CycleGAN deep network for transferring the style of real angiograms acquired during percutaneous interventions into a data set composed of realistically simulated arteries.

resultsThe cycle consistency was evaluated by comparing an input simulated image with the one obtained after two cycles of image translation. An average structural similarity (SSIM) of 0.948 on our data sets has been obtained. The vessel preservation was measured by comparing segmentations of an input image and its corresponding enhanced image using Dice coefficient.

conclusionsWe proposed an application of the CycleGAN deep network for enhancing the artificial data as an alternative to classical data augmentation techniques for medical applications, particularly focused on angiogram generation. We discussed success and failure cases, explaining conditions for the realistic data augmentation which respects both the complex physiology of arteries and the various patterns and textures generated by X-ray angiography.
