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

Model Observers (MO) are algorithms designed to evaluate and optimize the parameters of new medical imaging reconstruction methodologies by providing a measure of human accuracy for a diagnostic task. In contrast with a computer-aided diagnosis system, MOs are not designed to outperform human diagnosis but only to find a defect if a radiologist would be able to detect it. These algorithms can economize and expedite the finding of optimal reconstruction parameters by reducing the number of sessions with expert radiologists, which are costly and prolonged. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN or ConvNet) have been successfully used in the computer vision field for image classification, segmentation and video analytics. In this paper, we propose and test several U-Net configurations as MO for a defect localization task on synthetic images with different levels of correlated noisy backgrounds. Preliminary results show that the CNN based MO has potential and its accuracy correlates well with that of the human.
