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

In recent years, the incidence of prostate cancer in the male population has been increasing year by year. Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) is an important means of prostate cancer diagnosis. The accurate segmentation of the prostate in TRUS images can assist doctors in needle biopsy and surgery and is also the basis for the accurate identification of prostate cancer. Due to the asymmetric shape and blurred boundary line of the prostate in TRUS images, it is difficult to obtain accurate segmentation results with existing segmentation methods. Therefore, a prostate segmentation method called DSU-Net is proposed in this paper. This proposed method replaces the basic convolution in the U-Net model with the improved convolution combining shear transformation and deformable convolution, making the network more sensitive to border features and more suitable for prostate segmentation tasks. Experiments show that DSU-Net has higher accuracy than other existing traditional segmentation methods.
