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

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. AAAs often remain asymptomatic until they are either close to rupturing or they cause pressure to the spine and/or other organs. Fast progression has been linked to future clinical outcomes. Therefore, a reliable and efficient system to quantify geometric properties and growth will enable better clinical prognoses for aneurysms. Different imaging systems can be used to locate and characterize an aneurysm; computed tomography (CT) is the modality of choice in many clinical centers to monitor later stages of the disease and plan surgical treatment. The lack of accurate and automated techniques to segment the outer wall and lumen of the aneurysm results in either simplified measurements that focus on few salient features or time-consuming segmentation affected by high inter- and intra-operator variability. To overcome these limitations, we propose a model for segmenting AAA tissues automatically by using a trained deep learning-based approach. The model is composed of three different steps starting with the extraction of the aorta and iliac arteries followed by the detection of the lumen and other AAA tissues. The results of the automated segmentation demonstrate very good agreement when compared to manual segmentation performed by an expert.
