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

Preclinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a critical component in a co-clinical research pipeline. Importantly, segmentation of tumors in MRI is a necessary step in tumor phenotyping and assessment of response to therapy. However, manual segmentation is time-intensive and suffers from inter- and intra- observer variability and lack of reproducibility. This study aimed to develop an automated pipeline for accurate localization and delineation of TNBC PDX tumors from preclinical T1w and T2w MR images using a deep learning (DL) algorithm and to assess the sensitivity of radiomic features to tumor boundaries. We tested five network architectures including U-Net, dense U-Net, Res-Net, recurrent residual UNet (R2UNet), and dense R2U-Net (D-R2UNet), which were compared against manual delineation by experts. To mitigate bias among multiple experts, the simultaneous truth and performance level estimation (STAPLE) algorithm was applied to create consensus maps. Performance metrics (F1-Score, recall, precision, and AUC) were used to assess the performance of the networks. Multi-contrast D-R2UNet performed best with F1-score = 0.948; however, all networks scored within 1-3% of each other. Radiomic features extracted from D-R2UNet were highly corelated to STAPLE-derived features with 67.13% of T1w and 53.15% of T2w exhibiting correlation ρ ≥ 0.9 (
