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

Cervical cancer is the most common cancer and ranked as 4th in morbidity and mortality among Malaysian women. Currently, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is considered as the gold standard imaging modality for tumours with a stage higher than IB2, due to its superiority in diagnostic assessment of tumour infiltration with excellent soft-tissue contrast. In this research, the robustness of semi-automatic segmentation has been evaluated using a flood-fill algorithm for quantitative feature extraction, using 30 diffusion weighted MRI images (DWI-MRI) of cervical cancer patients. The relevant features were extracted from DWI-MRI segmented images of cervical cancer. First order statistics, shape features, and textural features were extracted and analysed. The intra-class relation coefficient (ICC) was used to compare 662 radiomic features extracted from manual and semi-automatic segmentations. Notably, the features extracted from the semi-automatic segmentation and flood filling algorithm (average ICC = 0.952 0.009, p > 0.05) were significantly higher than the manual extracted features (average ICC = 0.897 0.011, p > 0.05). Henceforth, we demonstrate that the semi-automatic segmentation is slightly expanded to manual segmentation as it produces more robust and reproducible radiomic features.
