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

In the recent past, deep learning-based models have achieved tremendous success in computer vision-related tasks with the help of large-scale annotated datasets. An interesting application of deep learning is synthetic data generation, especially in the domain of medical image analysis. The need for such a task arises due to the scarcity of original data. Class imbalance is another reason for applying data augmentation techniques. Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are beneficial for synthetic image generation in various fields. However, stand-alone GANs may only fetch the localized features in the latent representation of an image, whereas combining different GANs might understand the distributed features. To this end, we have proposed AGGrGAN, an aggregation of three base GAN models-two variants of Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Network (DCGAN) and a Wasserstein GAN (WGAN) to generate synthetic MRI scans of brain tumors. Further, we have applied the style transfer technique to enhance the image resemblance. Our proposed model efficiently overcomes the limitation of data unavailability and can understand the information variance in multiple representations of the raw images. We have conducted all the experiments on the two publicly available datasets - the brain tumor dataset and the Multimodal Brain Tumor Segmentation Challenge (BraTS) 2020 dataset. Results show that the proposed model can generate fine-quality images with maximum Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM) scores of 0.57 and 0.83 on the said two datasets.
