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 assess the performance of an automated myocardial T2 and extracellular volume (ECV) quantification method using transfer learning of a fully convolutional neural network (CNN) pretrained to segment the myocardium on T1 mapping images. MATERIALS AND

methodsA single CNN previously trained and tested using 11 550 manually segmented native T1-weighted images was used to segment the myocardium for automated myocardial T2 and ECV quantification. Reference measurements from 1525 manually processed T2 maps and 1525 ECV maps (from 305 patients) were used to evaluate the performance of the pretrained network. Correlation coefficient

resultsT2 and ECV measurements using the pretrained CNN strongly correlated with reference values in per-patient (T2:

conclusionTransfer learning extends the utility of pretrained CNN-based automated native T1 mapping analysis to T2 and ECV mapping without compromising performance.
