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

backgroundStroke is in the top three leading causes of death worldwide. Non-invasive monitoring of stroke can be accomplished via stenosis measurements. The current conventional image-based methods for these measurements are not accurate and reliable. They do not incorporate shape and intelligent learning component in their design.

methodsIn this study, we propose a deep learning (DL)-based methodology for accurate measurement of stenosis in common carotid artery (CCA) ultrasound (US) scans using a class of AtheroEdge system from AtheroPoint, USA. Three radiologists manually traced the lumen-intima (LI) for the near and the far walls, respectively, which served as a gold standard (GS) for training the DL-based model. Three DL-based systems were developed based on three types of GS.

resultsIRB approved (Toho University, Japan) 407 US scans from 204 patients were collected. The risk was characterized into three classes: low, moderate, and high-risk. The area-under-curve (AUC) corresponding to three DL systems using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis computed were: 0.90, 0.94 and 0.86, respectively.

conclusionsNovel DL-based strategy showed reliable, accurate and stable stenosis severity index (SSI) measurements.
