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

Medical imaging refers to several different technologies that are used to view the human body to diagnose, monitor, or treat medical conditions. It requires significant expertise to efficiently and correctly interpret the images generated by each of these technologies, which among others include radiography, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging. Deep learning and machine learning techniques provide different solutions for medical image interpretation including those associated with detection and diagnosis. Despite the huge success of deep learning algorithms in image analysis, training algorithms to reach human-level performance in these tasks depends on the availability of large amounts of high-quality training data, including high-quality annotations to serve as ground-truth. Different annotation tools have been developed to assist with the annotation process. In this survey, we present the currently available annotation tools for medical imaging, including descriptions of graphical user interfaces (GUI) and supporting instruments. The main contribution of this study is to provide an intensive review of the popular annotation tools and show their successful usage in annotating medical imaging dataset to guide researchers in this area.
