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

backgroundSurgical video phase recognition is an essential technique in computer-assisted surgical systems for monitoring surgical procedures, which can assist surgeons in standardizing procedures and enhancing postsurgical assessment and indexing. However, the high similarity between the phases and temporal variations of cataract videos still poses the greatest challenge for video phase recognition.

methodsIn this paper, we introduce a global-local multi-stage temporal convolutional network (GL-MSTCN) to explore the subtle differences between high similarity surgical phases and mitigate the temporal variations of surgical videos. The presented work consists of a triple-stream network (i.e., pupil stream, instrument stream, and video frame stream) and a multi-stage temporal convolutional network. The triple-stream network first detects the pupil and surgical instruments regions in the frame separately and then obtains the fine-grained semantic features of the video frames. The proposed multi-stage temporal convolutional network improves the surgical phase recognition performance by capturing longer time series features through dilated convolutional layers with varying receptive fields.

resultsOur method is thoroughly validated on the CSVideo dataset with 32 cataract surgery videos and the public Cataract101 dataset with 101 cataract surgery videos, outperforming state-of-the-art approaches with 95.8% and 96.5% accuracy, respectively.

conclusionsThe experimental results show that the use of global and local feature information can effectively enhance the model to explore fine-grained features and mitigate temporal and spatial variations, thus improving the surgical phase recognition performance of the proposed GL-MSTCN.
