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

backgroundAccurate segmentation of stroke lesions on MRI images is very important for neurologists in the planning of post-stroke care. Segmentation helps clinicians to better diagnose and evaluation of any treatment risks. However, manual segmentation of brain lesions relies on the experience of neurologists and is also a very tedious and time-consuming process. So, in this study, we proposed a novel deep convolutional neural network (CNN-Res) that automatically performs the segmentation of ischemic stroke lesions from multimodal MRIs.

methodsCNN-Res used a U-shaped structure, so the network has encryption and decryption paths. The residual units are embedded in the encoder path. In this model, to reduce gradient descent, the residual units were used, and to extract more complex information in images, multimodal MRI data were applied. In the link between the encryption and decryption subnets, the bottleneck strategy was used, which reduced the number of parameters and training time compared to similar research.

resultsCNN-Res was evaluated on two distinct datasets. First, it was examined on a dataset collected from the Neuroscience Center of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, where the average Dice coefficient was equal to 85.43%. Then, to compare the efficiency and performance of the model with other similar works, CNN-Res was evaluated on the popular SPES 2015 competition dataset where the average Dice coefficient was 79.23%.

conclusionThis study presented a new and accurate method for the segmentation of MRI medical images using a deep convolutional neural network called CNN-Res, which directly predicts segment maps from raw input pixels.
