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

Eye trackers can provide visual guidance to sonographers during ultrasound (US) scanning. Such guidance is potentially valuable for less experienced operators to improve their scanning skills on how to manipulate the probe to achieve the desired plane. In this paper, a multimodal guidance approach (Multimodal-GuideNet) is proposed to capture the stepwise dependency between a real-world US video signal, synchronized gaze, and probe motion within a unified framework. To understand the causal relationship between gaze movement and probe motion, our model exploits multitask learning to jointly learn two related tasks: predicting gaze movements and probe signals that an experienced sonographer would perform in routine obstetric scanning. The two tasks are associated by a modality-aware spatial graph to detect the co-occurrence among the multi-modality inputs and share useful cross-modal information. Instead of a deterministic scanning path, Multimodal-GuideNet allows for scanning diversity by estimating the probability distribution of real scans. Experiments performed with three typical obstetric scanning examinations show that the new approach outperforms single-task learning for both probe motion guidance and gaze movement prediction. Multimodal-GuideNet also provides a visual guidance signal with an error rate of less than 10 pixels for a 224 × 288 US image.
