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

Among primary bone cancers, osteosarcoma is the most common, peaking between the ages of a child's rapid bone growth and adolescence. The diagnosis of osteosarcoma requires observing the radiological appearance of the infected bones. A common approach is MRI, but the manual diagnosis of MRI images is prone to observer bias and inaccuracy and is rather time consuming. The MRI images of osteosarcoma contain semantic messages in several different resolutions, which are often ignored by current segmentation techniques, leading to low generalizability and accuracy. In the meantime, the boundaries between osteosarcoma and bones or other tissues are sometimes too ambiguous to separate, making it a challenging job for inexperienced doctors to draw a line between them. In this paper, we propose using a multiscale residual fusion network to handle the MRI images. We placed a novel subnetwork after the encoders to exchange information between the feature maps of different resolutions, to fuse the information they contain. The outputs are then directed to both the decoders and a shape flow block, used for improving the spatial accuracy of the segmentation map. We tested over 80,000 osteosarcoma MRI images from the PET-CT center of a well-known hospital in China. Our approach can significantly improve the effectiveness of the semantic segmentation of osteosarcoma images. Our method has higher F1, DSC, and IOU compared with other models while maintaining the number of parameters and FLOPS.
