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

Photoacoustic (PA) technology has been used extensively on vessel imaging due to its capability of identifying molecular specificities and achieving high optical-diffraction-limited lateral resolution down to the cellular level. Vessel images carry essential medical information that provides guidelines for a professional diagnosis. Modern image processing techniques provide a decent contribution to vessel segmentation. However, these methods suffer from under or over-segmentation. Thus, we demonstrate both the results of adopting a fully convolutional network and U-net, and propose a hybrid network consisting of both applied on PA vessel images. Comparison results indicate that the hybrid network can significantly increase the segmentation accuracy and robustness.
