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

The prevailing approach for three-dimensional (3D) medical image segmentation is to use convolutional networks. Recently, deep learning methods have achieved human-level performance in several important applied problems, such as volumetry for lung-cancer diagnosis or delineation for radiation therapy planning. However, state-of-the-art architectures, such as U-Net and DeepMedic, are computationally heavy and require workstations accelerated with graphics processing units for fast inference. However, scarce research has been conducted concerning enabling fast central processing unit computations for such networks. Our paper fills this gap. We propose a new segmentation method with a human-like technique to segment a 3D study. First, we analyze the image at a small scale to identify areas of interest and then process only relevant feature-map patches. Our method not only reduces the inference time from 10 min to 15 s but also preserves state-of-the-art segmentation quality, as we illustrate in the set of experiments with two large datasets.
