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

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the main stabilizer parts of the knee. ACL injury leads to causes of osteoarthritis risk. ACL rupture is common in the young athletic population. Accurate segmentation at an early stage can improve the analysis and classification of anterior cruciate ligaments tears. This study automatically segmented the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears from magnetic resonance imaging through deep learning. The knee mask was generated on the original Magnetic Resonance (MR) images to apply a semantic segmentation technique with convolutional neural network architecture U-Net. The proposed segmentation method was measured by accuracy, intersection over union (IoU), dice similarity coefficient (DSC), precision, recall and F1-score of 98.4%, 99.0%, 99.4%, 99.6%, 99.6% and 99.6% on 11451 training images, whereas on the validation images of 3817 was, respectively, 97.7%, 93.8%,96.8%, 96.5%, 97.3% and 96.9%. We also provide dice loss of training and test datasets that have remained 0.005 and 0.031, respectively. The experimental results show that the ACL segmentation on JPEG MRI images with U-Nets achieves accuracy that outperforms the human segmentation. The strategy has promising potential applications in medical image analytics for the segmentation of knee ACL tears for MR images.
