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

Multi-modal three-dimensional (3-D) image segmentation is used in many medical applications, such as disease diagnosis, treatment planning, and image-guided surgery. Although multi-modal images provide information that no single image modality alone can provide, integrating such information to be used in segmentation is a challenging task. Numerous methods have been introduced to solve the problem of multi-modal medical image segmentation in recent years. In this paper, we propose a solution for the task of brain tumor segmentation. To this end, we first introduce a method of enhancing an existing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) dataset by generating synthetic computed tomography (CT) images. Then, we discuss a process of systematic optimization of a convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture that uses this enhanced dataset, in order to customize it for our task. Using publicly available datasets, we show that the proposed method outperforms similar existing methods.
