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

The data in this article provide details about MRI lesion segmentation using K-means and Gaussian Mixture Model-Expectation Maximization (GMM-EM) algorithms. Both K-means and GMM-EM algorithms can segment lesion area from the rest of brain MRI automatically. The performance metrics (accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, false positive rate, misclassification rate) were estimated for the algorithms and there was no significant difference between K-means and GMM-EM. In addition, lesion size does not affect the accuracy and sensitivity for either method.
