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

In clinical practice, ultrasound standard planes (SPs) selection is experience-dependent and it suffers from inter-observer and intra-observer variability. Automatic recognition of SPs can help improve the quality of examinations and make the evaluations more objective. In this paper, we propose a method for the automatic identification of SPs, to be installed onboard a portable ultrasound system with limited computational power. The deep Learning methodology we design is based on the concept of Knowledge Distillation, transferring knowledge from a large and well-performing teacher to a smaller student architecture. To this purpose, we evaluate a set of different potential teachers and students, as well as alternative knowledge distillation techniques, to balance a trade-off between performances and architectural complexity. We report a thorough analysis of fetal ultrasound data, focusing on a benchmark dataset, to the best of our knowledge the only one available to date.
