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

Small bowel path tracking is a challenging problem considering its many folds and contact along its course. For the same reason, it is very costly to achieve the ground-truth (GT) path of the small bowel in 3D. In this work, we propose to train a deep reinforcement learning tracker using datasets with different types of annotations. Specifically, we utilize CT scans that have only GT small bowel segmentation as well as ones with the GT path. It is enabled by designing a unique environment that is compatible for both, including a reward definable even without the GT path. The performed experiments proved the validity of the proposed method. The proposed method holds a high degree of usability in this problem by being able to utilize the scans with weak annotations, and thus by possibly reducing the required annotation cost.
