Deep Learning Enables Prostate MRI Segmentation: A Large Cohort Evaluation With Inter-Rater Variability Analysis.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Whole-prostate gland (WPG) segmentation plays a significant role in prostate volume measurement, treatment, and biopsy planning. This study evaluated a previously developed automatic WPG segmentation, deep attentive neural network (DANN), on a large, continuous patient cohort to test its feasibility in a clinical setting. With IRB approval and HIPAA compliance, the study cohort included 3,698 3T MRI scans acquired between 2016 and 2020. In total, 335 MRI scans were used to train the model, and 3,210 and 100 were used to conduct the qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the model. In addition, the DANN-enabled prostate volume estimation was evaluated by using 50 MRI scans in comparison with manual prostate volume estimation. For qualitative evaluation, visual grading was used to evaluate the performance of WPG segmentation by two abdominal radiologists, and DANN demonstrated either acceptable or excellent performance in over 96% of the testing cohort on the WPG or each prostate sub-portion (apex, midgland, or base). Two radiologists reached a substantial agreement on WPG and midgland segmentation (
