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

Accurate and fully automatic brain tumor grading from volumetric 3D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an essential procedure in the field of medical imaging analysis for full assistance of neuroradiology during clinical diagnosis. We propose, in this paper, an efficient and fully automatic deep multi-scale three-dimensional convolutional neural network (3D CNN) architecture for glioma brain tumor classification into low-grade gliomas (LGG) and high-grade gliomas (HGG) using the whole volumetric T1-Gado MRI sequence. Based on a 3D convolutional layer and a deep network, via small kernels, the proposed architecture has the potential to merge both the local and global contextual information with reduced weights. To overcome the data heterogeneity, we proposed a preprocessing technique based on intensity normalization and adaptive contrast enhancement of MRI data. Furthermore, for an effective training of such a deep 3D network, we used a data augmentation technique. The paper studied the impact of the proposed preprocessing and data augmentation on classification accuracy.Quantitative evaluations, over the well-known benchmark (Brats-2018), attest that the proposed architecture generates the most discriminative feature map to distinguish between LG and HG gliomas compared with 2D CNN variant. The proposed approach offers promising results outperforming the recently supervised and unsupervised state-of-the-art approaches by achieving an overall accuracy of 96.49% using the validation dataset. The obtained experimental results confirm that adequate MRI's preprocessing and data augmentation could lead to an accurate classification when exploiting CNN-based approaches.
