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

Cortical surface registration is an essential step and prerequisite for surface-based neuroimaging analysis. It aligns cortical surfaces across individuals and time points to establish cross-sectional and longitudinal cortical correspondences to facilitate neuroimaging studies. Though achieving good performance, available methods are either time consuming or not flexible to extend to multiple or high dimensional features. Considering the explosive availability of large-scale and multimodal brain MRI data, fast surface registration methods that can flexibly handle multimodal features are desired. In this study, we develop a Superfast Spherical Surface Registration (S3Reg) framework for the cerebral cortex. Leveraging an end-to-end unsupervised learning strategy, S3Reg offers great flexibility in the choice of input feature sets and output similarity measures for registration, and meanwhile reduces the registration time significantly. Specifically, we exploit the powerful learning capability of spherical Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to directly learn the deformation fields in spherical space and implement diffeomorphic design with "scaling and squaring" layers to guarantee topology-preserving deformations. To handle the polar-distortion issue, we construct a novel spherical CNN model using three orthogonal Spherical U-Nets. Experiments are performed on two different datasets to align both adult and infant multimodal cortical features. Results demonstrate that our S3Reg shows superior or comparable performance with state-of-the-art methods, while improving the registration time from 1 min to 10 sec.
