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

Right ventricular (RV) volumes are commonly obtained through time-consuming manual delineations of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images. Deep learning-based methods can generate RV delineations, but few studies have assessed their ability to accelerate clinical practice. Therefore, we aimed to develop a clinical pipeline for deep learning-based RV delineations and validate its ability to reduce the manual delineation time. Quality-controlled delineations in short-axis CMR scans from 1114 subjects were used for development. Time reduction was assessed by two observers using 50 additional clinical scans. Automated delineations were subjectively rated as (A) sufficient for clinical use, or as needing (B) minor or (C) major corrections. Times were measured for manual corrections of delineations rated as B or C, and for fully manual delineations on all 50 scans. Fifty-eight % of automated delineations were rated as A, 42% as B, and none as C. The average time was 6 min for a fully manual delineation, 2 s for an automated delineation, and 2 min for a minor correction, yielding a time reduction of 87%. The deep learning-based pipeline could substantially reduce the time needed to manually obtain clinically applicable delineations, indicating ability to yield right ventricular assessments faster than fully manual analysis in clinical practice. However, these results may not generalize to clinics using other RV delineation guidelines.
