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

Medical image fusion techniques can fuse medical images from different morphologies to make the medical diagnosis more reliable and accurate, which play an increasingly important role in many clinical applications. To obtain a fused image with high visual quality and clear structure details, this paper proposes a convolutional neural network (CNN) based medical image fusion algorithm. The proposed algorithm uses the trained Siamese convolutional network to fuse the pixel activity information of source images to realize the generation of weight map. Meanwhile, a contrast pyramid is implemented to decompose the source image. According to different spatial frequency bands and a weighted fusion operator, source images are integrated. The results of comparative experiments show that the proposed fusion algorithm can effectively preserve the detailed structure information of source images and achieve good human visual effects.
