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

Automatic segmentation of infection areas in computed tomography (CT) images has proven to be an effective diagnostic approach for COVID-19. However, due to the limited number of pixel-level annotated medical images, accurate segmentation remains a major challenge. In this paper, we propose an unsupervised domain adaptation based segmentation network to improve the segmentation performance of the infection areas in COVID-19 CT images. In particular, we propose to utilize the synthetic data and limited unlabeled real COVID-19 CT images to jointly train the segmentation network. Furthermore, we develop a novel domain adaptation module, which is used to align the two domains and effectively improve the segmentation network's generalization capability to the real domain. Besides, we propose an unsupervised adversarial training scheme, which encourages the segmentation network to learn the domain-invariant feature, so that the robust feature can be used for segmentation. Experimental results demonstrate that our method can achieve state-of-the-art segmentation performance on COVID-19 CT images.
