AFNet Algorithm for Automatic Amniotic Fluid Segmentation from Fetal MRI.
Article in Bioengineering (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Amniotic Fluid Volume (AFV) is a crucial fetal biomarker when diagnosing specific fetal abnormalities. This study proposes a novel Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model, AFNet, for segmenting amniotic fluid (AF) to facilitate clinical AFV evaluation. AFNet was trained and tested on a manually segmented and radiologist-validated AF dataset. AFNet outperforms ResUNet++ by using efficient feature mapping in the attention block and transposing convolutions in the decoder. Our experimental results show that AFNet achieved a mean Intersection over Union (mIoU) of 93.38% on our dataset, thereby outperforming other state-of-the-art models. While AFNet achieves performance scores similar to those of the UNet++ model, it does so while utilizing merely less than half the number of parameters. By creating a detailed AF dataset with an improved CNN architecture, we enable the quantification of AFV in clinical practice, which can aid in diagnosing AF disorders during gestation.
