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

purposeTo apply deep convolution neural network to the segmentation task in myocardial arterial spin labeled perfusion imaging and to develop methods that measure uncertainty and that adapt the convolution neural network model to a specific false-positive versus false-negative tradeoff.

methodsThe Monte Carlo dropout U-Net was trained on data from 22 subjects and tested on data from 6 heart transplant recipients. Manual segmentation and regional myocardial blood flow were available for comparison. We consider 2 global uncertainty measures, named "Dice uncertainty" and "Monte Carlo dropout uncertainty," which were calculated with and without the use of manual segmentation, respectively. Tversky loss function with a hyperparameter β was used to adapt the model to a specific false-positive versus false-negative tradeoff.

resultsThe Monte Carlo dropout U-Net achieved a Dice coefficient of 0.91 ± 0.04 on the test set. Myocardial blood flow measured using automatic segmentations was highly correlated to that measured using the manual segmentation (R

conclusionWe demonstrate the feasibility of deep convolution neural network for automatic segmentation of myocardial arterial spin labeling, with good accuracy. We also introduce 2 simple methods for assessing model uncertainty. Finally, we demonstrate the ability to adapt the convolution neural network model to a specific false-positive versus false-negative tradeoff. These findings are directly relevant to automatic segmentation in quantitative cardiac MRI and are broadly applicable to automatic segmentation problems in diagnostic imaging.
