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

Left Ventricle (LV) detection from Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) imaging is a fundamental step, preliminary to myocardium segmentation and characterization. This paper focuses on the application of a Visual Transformer (ViT), a novel neural network architecture, to automatically detect LV from CMR relaxometry sequences. We implemented an object detector based on the ViT model to identify LV from CMR multi-echo T2* sequences. We evaluated performances differentiated by slice location according to the American Heart Association model using 5-fold cross-validation and on an independent dataset of CMR T2*, T2, and T1 acquisitions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt to localize LV from relaxometry sequences and the first application of ViT for LV detection. We collected an Intersection over Union (IoU) index of 0.68 and a Correct Identification Rate (CIR) of blood pool centroid of 0.99, comparable with other state-of-the-art methods. IoU and CIR values were significantly lower in apical slices. No significant differences in performances were assessed on independent T2* dataset (IoU = 0.68,
