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

Purpose: To bypass manual data preprocessing and optimize deep learning performance, we developed and evaluated CROPro, a tool to standardize automated cropping of prostate magnetic resonance (MR) images. Approach: CROPro enables automatic cropping of MR images regardless of patient health status, image size, prostate volume, or pixel spacing. CROPro can crop foreground pixels from a region of interest (e.g., prostate) with different image sizes, pixel spacing, and sampling strategies. Performance was evaluated in the context of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) classification. Transfer learning was used to train five convolutional neural network (CNN) and five vision transformer (ViT) models using different combinations of cropped image sizes ( Results: Among CNNs, SqueezeNet with stride cropping (image size: Conclusion: We found that csPCa classification performance of CNNs and ViTs depends on the cropping settings. We demonstrated that CROPro is well suited to optimize these settings in a standardized manner, which could improve the overall performance of deep learning models.
