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

backgroundContrast-enhanced endoscopic ultrasound (CE-EUS) is useful for the differentiation of pancreatic tumors. Using deep learning for the segmentation and classification of pancreatic tumors might further improve the diagnostic capability of CE-EUS.

aimsThe aim of this study was to evaluate the capability of deep learning for the automatic segmentation of pancreatic tumors on CE-EUS video images and possible factors affecting the automatic segmentation.

methodsThis retrospective study included 100 patients who underwent CE-EUS for pancreatic tumors. The CE-EUS video images were converted from the originals to 90-s segments with six frames per second. Manual segmentation of pancreatic tumors from B-mode images was performed as ground truth. Automatic segmentation was performed using U-Net with 100 epochs and was evaluated with 4-fold cross-validation. The degree of respiratory movement (RM) and tumor boundary (TB) were divided into 3-degree intervals in each patient and evaluated as possible factors affecting the segmentation. The concordance rate was calculated using the intersection over union (IoU).

resultsThe median IoU of all cases was 0.77. The median IoUs in TB-1 (clear around), TB-2, and TB-3 (unclear more than half) were 0.80, 0.76, and 0.69, respectively. The IoU for TB-1 was significantly higher than that of TB-3 (

conclusionsAutomatic segmentation of pancreatic tumors using U-Net on CE-EUS video images showed a decent concordance rate. The concordance rate was lowered by an unclear TB but was not affected by RM.
