MSF-Net: A Lightweight Multi-Scale Feature Fusion Network for Skin Lesion Segmentation.
Article in Biomedicines, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Segmentation of skin lesion images facilitates the early diagnosis of melanoma. However, this remains a challenging task due to the diversity of target scales, irregular segmentation shapes, low contrast, and blurred boundaries of dermatological graphics. This paper proposes a multi-scale feature fusion network (MSF-Net) based on comprehensive attention convolutional neural network (CA-Net). We introduce the spatial attention mechanism in the convolution block through the residual connection to focus on the key regions. Meanwhile, Multi-scale Dilated Convolution Modules (MDC) and Multi-scale Feature Fusion Modules (MFF) are introduced to extract context information across scales and adaptively adjust the receptive field size of the feature map. We conducted many experiments on the public data set ISIC2018 to verify the validity of MSF-Net. The ablation experiment demonstrated the effectiveness of our three modules. The comparison experiment with the existing advanced network confirms that MSF-Net can achieve better segmentation under fewer parameters.
