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

Several neuroimaging processing applications consider skull stripping as a crucial pre-processing step. Due to complex anatomical brain structure and intensity variations in brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), an appropriate skull stripping is an important part. The process of skull stripping basically deals with the removal of the skull region for clinical analysis in brain segmentation tasks, and its accuracy and efficiency are quite crucial for diagnostic purposes. It requires more accurate and detailed methods for differentiating brain regions and the skull regions and is considered as a challenging task. This paper is focused on the transition of the conventional to the machine- and deep-learning-based automated skull stripping methods for brain MRI images. It is observed in this study that deep learning approaches have outperformed conventional and machine learning techniques in many ways, but they have their limitations. It also includes the comparative analysis of the current state-of-the-art skull stripping methods, a critical discussion of some challenges, model of quantifying parameters, and future work directions.
