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

An accurate medical image registration is crucial in a variety of neuroscience and clinical studies. In this paper, we proposed a new unsupervised learning network, DAVoxelMorph to improve the accuracy of 3D deformable medical image registration. Based on the VoxelMorph model, our network presented two modifications, one is adding a dual attention architecture, specifically, we model semantic correlation on spatial and coordinate dimensions respectively, and the location attention module selectively aggregates the features of each location by weighting the features of all locations. The coordinate attention module further puts the location information into the channel attention. The other is introducing the bending penalty as regularization in the loss function to penalize the bending in the deformation field. Experimental results show that DAVoxelMorph achieved better registration performance including average Dice scores (0.714) and percentage of locations with non-positive Jacobian (0.345) compare with VoxelMorph (0.703, 0.355), CycleMorph (0.705, 0.133), ANTs SyN (0.707, 0.137) and NiftyReg (0.694, 0.549). Our model increases both model sensitivity and registration accuracy.
