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 is the most generally utilized imaging methodology that permits radiologists to look inside the cerebrum using radio waves and magnets for tumor identification. However, it is tedious and complex to identify the tumorous and nontumorous regions due to the complexity in the tumorous region. Therefore, reliable and automatic segmentation and prediction are necessary for the segmentation of brain tumors. This paper proposes a reliable and efficient neural network variant, i.e., an attention-based convolutional neural network for brain tumor segmentation. Specifically, an encoder part of the UNET is a pre-trained VGG19 network followed by the adjacent decoder parts with an attention gate for segmentation noise induction and a denoising mechanism for avoiding overfitting. The dataset we are using for segmentation is BRATS'20, which comprises four different MRI modalities and one target mask file. The abovementioned algorithm resulted in a dice similarity coefficient of 0.83, 0.86, and 0.90 for enhancing, core, and whole tumors, respectively.
