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

Semantic segmentation of biomedical images found its niche in screening and diagnostic applications. Recent methods based on deep learning convolutional neural networks have been very effective, since they are readily adaptive to biomedical applications and outperform other competitive segmentation methods. Inspired by the U-Net, we designed a deep learning network with an innovative architecture, hereafter referred to as AID-U-Net. Our network consists of direct contracting and expansive paths, as well as a distinguishing feature of containing sub-contracting and sub-expansive paths. The implementation results on seven totally different databases of medical images demonstrated that our proposed network outperforms the state-of-the-art solutions with no specific pre-trained backbones for both 2D and 3D biomedical image segmentation tasks. Furthermore, we showed that AID-U-Net dramatically reduces time inference and computational complexity in terms of the number of learnable parameters. The results further show that the proposed AID-U-Net can segment different medical objects, achieving an improved 2D F
