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 researchers using traditional and new machine learning and deep learning techniques, 2D medical image segmentation models are popular. Additionally, 3D volumetric data recently became more accessible, as a result of the high number of studies conducted in recent years regarding the creation of 3D volumes. Using these 3D data, researchers have begun conducting research on creating 3D segmentation models, such as brain tumor segmentation and classification. Since a higher number of crucial features can be extracted using 3D data than 2D data, 3D brain tumor detection models have increased in popularity among researchers. Until now, various significant research works have focused on the 3D version of the U-Net and other popular models, such as 3D U-Net and V-Net, while doing superior research works. In this study, we used 3D brain image data and created a new architecture based on a 3D U-Net model that uses multiple skip connections with cost-efficient pretrained 3D MobileNetV2 blocks and attention modules. These pretrained MobileNetV2 blocks assist our architecture by providing smaller parameters to maintain operable model size in terms of our computational capability and help the model to converge faster. We added additional skip connections between the encoder and decoder blocks to ease the exchange of extracted features between the two blocks, which resulted in the maximum use of the features. We also used attention modules to filter out irrelevant features coming through the skip connections and, thus, preserved more computational power while achieving improved accuracy.
