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

Semantic segmentation of bone from lower extremity computerized tomography (CT) scans can improve and accelerate the visualization, diagnosis, and surgical planning in orthopaedics. However, the large field of view of these scans makes automatic segmentation using deep learning based methods challenging, slow and graphical processing unit (GPU) memory intensive. We investigated methods to more efficiently represent anatomical context for accurate and fast segmentation and compared these with state-of-the-art methodology. Six lower extremity bones from patients of two different datasets were manually segmented from CT scans, and used to train and optimize a cascaded deep learning approach. We varied the number of resolution levels, receptive fields, patch sizes, and number of V-net blocks. The best performing network used a multi-stage, cascaded V-net approach with 128
