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

purposeThis study proposes an automated prostate cancer (PC) lesion characterization method based on the deep neural network to determine tumor burden on

methodsWe collected

resultsAmong all the labeled lesions, the network achieved 99% precision, 99% recall, and an F1 score of 99% on bone lesion detection and 94%, precision 89% recall, and an F1 score of 92% on lymph node lesion detection. The segmentation accuracy is lower than the detection. The performance of the network was correlated with the amount of training data.

conclusionWe developed a deep neural network to characterize automatically the PC lesions on
