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 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) segmentation of brain tumors is a hot topic in brain tumor processing research in recent years, which can make full use of the feature information of different modalities in MRI images, so that tumors can be segmented more effectively. In this article, convolutional neural networks (CNN) is used as a tool to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of segmentation. Based on this, Dense-ResUNet, a multi-modal MRI image segmentation model for brain tumors is created. The Dense-ResUNet consists of a series of nested dense convolutional blocks and a U-Net shaped model with residual connections. The nested dense convolutional blocks can bridge the semantic disparity between the feature maps of the encoder and decoder before fusion and make full use of different levels of features. The residual blocks and skip connection can extract pixel information from the image and skip the link to solve the traditional deep traditional CNN network problem. The experiment results show that our Dense-ResUNet can effectively help to extract the brain tumor and has great clinical research and application value.
