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

purposeThe aim was to compare Smart Segmentation of Eclipse treatment planning system and Atlas Segment of MIM software for liver delineation for resin yttrium-90 (Y-90) procedures. MATERIALS AND

methodsCT images of 20 patients treated with resin Y-90 selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) were tested. Liver contours generated with Smart Segmentation and Atlas Segment were compared with physician manually delineated contours. Dice similarity coefficient (DSC), mean distance to agreement (MDA), and ratio of volume (RV) were calculated. The contours were evaluated with activity calculations and ratio of activity (RA) was calculated.

resultsMean DSCs were 0.77 and 0.83, MDAs were 0.88 and 0.71 cm, mean RVs were 0.95 and 1.02, and mean RAs were 1.00 and 1.00, for Eclipse and MIM results, respectively.

conclusionMIM outperformed Eclipse in both DSC and MDA, whereas the differences in liver volumes and calculated activities were statistically insignificant between the Eclipse and MIM results. Both auto-segmentation tools can be used to generate initial liver contours for resin Y-90 SIRT, which need to be reviewed and edited by physicians.
