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

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is widely utilized for diagnosing and monitoring of spinal disorders. For a number of applications, particularly those related to quantitative MRI, an essential step towards achieving reliable and objective measurements is the segmentation of the examined structures. Performed manually, such process is time-consuming and prone to errors, posing a bottleneck to its clinical applicability. A more efficient analysis would be achieved by automating a segmentation process. However, routine spine MRI acquisitions pose several challenges for achieving robust and accurate segmentations, due to varying MRI acquisition characteristics occurring in data acquired from different sites. Moreover, heterogeneous annotated datasets, collected from multiple scanners with different pulse sequence protocols, are limited. Thus, we present a manually segmented lumbar spine MRI database containing a wide range of data obtained from multiple scanners and pulse sequences, with segmentations of lumbar vertebral bodies and intervertebral discs. The database is intended for the use in developing and testing of automated lumbar spine segmentation algorithms in multi-domain scenarios.
