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

Total intracranial volume (TIV) is the volume enclosed inside the cranium, inclusive of the meninges and the brain. TIV is extensively used to correct variations in inter-subject head size for the evaluation of neurodegenerative diseases. In this work, we present an automatic method to generate a TIV mask from MR images while synthesizing a CT image to be used in subsequent analysis. In addition, we propose an alternative way to obtain ground truth TIV masks using a semi-manual approach, which results in significant time savings. We train a conditional generative adversarial network (cGAN) using 2D MR slices to realize our tasks. The quantitative evaluation showed that the model was able to synthesize CT and generate TIV masks that closely approximate the reference images. This study also provides a comparison of the described method against skull stripping tools that output a mask enclosing the cranial volume, using MRI scan. In particular, highlighting the deficiencies in using such tools to approximate the volume using MRI scan.
