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

Accurate and rapid segmentation of the lumen in an aortic dissection (AD) is an important prerequisite for risk evaluation and medical planning for patients with this serious condition. Although some recent studies have pioneered technical advances for the challenging AD segmentation task, they generally neglect the intimal flap structure that separates the true and false lumens. Identification and segmentation of the intimal flap may simplify AD segmentation, and the incorporation of long-distance z axis information interaction along the curved aorta may improve segmentation accuracy. This study proposes a flap attention module that focuses on key flap voxels and performs operations with long-distance attention. In addition, a pragmatic cascaded network structure with feature reuse and a two-step training strategy are presented to fully exploit network representation power. The proposed ADSeg method was evaluated on a multicenter dataset of 108 cases, with or without thrombus; ADSeg outperformed previous state-of-the-art methods by a significant margin and was robust against center variation.
