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

backgroundThis study aimed to compare the prediction performance of two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) semantic segmentation models for intracranial metastatic tumors with a volume ≥ 0.3 mL.

methodsWe used postcontrast T1 whole-brain magnetic resonance (MR), which was collected from Taipei Veterans General Hospital (TVGH). Also, the study was approved by the institutional review board (IRB) of TVGH. The 2D image segmentation model does not fully use the spatial information between neighboring slices, whereas the 3D segmentation model does. We treated the U-Net as the basic model for 2D and 3D architectures.

resultsFor the prediction of intracranial metastatic tumors, the area under the curve (AUC) of the 3D model was 87.6% and that of the 2D model was 81.5%.

conclusionBuilding a semantic segmentation model based on 3D deep convolutional neural networks might be crucial to achieve a high detection rate in clinical applications for intracranial metastatic tumors.
