Automatic Segmentation of Diffuse White Matter Abnormality on T2-weighted Brain MR Images Using Deep Learning in Very Preterm Infants.
Article in Radiology. Artificial intelligence, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03345069 (Early Prediction of Cognitive and Motor Deficits Using Advanced MRI in Very Preterm Infants), which is not on this map. Cited by 11 papers.
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.
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.

Abstract
About 50%-80% of very preterm infants (VPIs) (≤ 32 weeks gestational age) exhibit diffuse white matter abnormality (DWMA) on their MR images at term-equivalent age. It remains unknown if DWMA is associated with developmental impairments, and further study is warranted. To aid in the assessment of DWMA, a deep learning model for DWMA quantification on T2-weighted MR images was developed. This secondary analysis of prospective data was performed with an internal cohort of 98 VPIs (data collected from December 2014 to April 2016) and an external cohort of 28 VPIs (data collected from January 2012 to August 2014) who had already undergone MRI at term-equivalent age. Ground truth DWMA regions were manually annotated by two human experts with the guidance of a prior published semiautomated algorithm. In a twofold cross-validation experiment using the internal cohort of 98 infants, the three-dimensional (3D) ResU-Net model accurately segmented DWMA with a Dice similarity coefficient of 0.907 ± 0.041 (standard deviation) and balanced accuracy of 96.0% ± 2.1, outperforming multiple peer deep learning models. The 3D ResU-Net model that was trained with the whole internal cohort (
