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

Tumor classification and segmentation problems have attracted interest in recent years. In contrast to the abundance of studies examining brain, lung, and liver cancers, there has been a lack of studies using deep learning to classify and segment knee bone tumors. In this study, our objective is to assist physicians in radiographic interpretation to detect and classify knee bone regions in terms of whether they are normal, begin-tumor, or malignant-tumor regions. We proposed the Seg-Unet model with global and patched-based approaches to deal with challenges involving the small size, appearance variety, and uncommon nature of bone lesions. Our model contains classification, tumor segmentation, and high-risk region segmentation branches to learn mutual benefits among the global context on the whole image and the local texture at every pixel. The patch-based model improves our performance in malignant-tumor detection. We built the knee bone tumor dataset supported by the physicians of Chonnam National University Hospital (CNUH). Experiments on the dataset demonstrate that our method achieves better performance than other methods with an accuracy of 99.05% for the classification and an average Mean IoU of 84.84% for segmentation. Our results showed a significant contribution to help the physicians in knee bone tumor detection.
