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 our comprehensive experiments and evaluations, we show that it is possible to generate multiple contrast (even all synthetically) and use synthetically generated images to train an image segmentation engine. We showed promising segmentation results tested on real multi-contrast MRI scans when delineating muscle, fat, bone and bone marrow, all trained on synthetic images. Based on synthetic image training, our segmentation results were as high as 93.91%, 94.11%, 91.63%, 95.33%, for muscle, fat, bone, and bone marrow delineation, respectively. Results were not significantly different from the ones obtained when real images were used for segmentation training: 94.68%, 94.67%, 95.91%, and 96.82%, respectively. Clinical relevance- Synthetically generated images could potentially be used in large-scale training of deep networks for segmentation purpose. Small data set problem of many clinical imaging problems can potentially be addressed with the proposed algorithm.
