Placental Vessel Segmentation Using Pix2pix Compared to U-Net.
Article in Journal of imaging, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Computer-assisted technologies have made significant progress in fetoscopic laser surgery, including placental vessel segmentation. However, the intra- and inter-procedure variabilities in the state-of-the-art segmentation methods remain a significant hurdle. To address this, we investigated the use of conditional generative adversarial networks (cGANs) for fetoscopic image segmentation and compared their performance with the benchmark U-Net technique for placental vessel segmentation. Two deep-learning models, U-Net and pix2pix (a popular cGAN model), were trained and evaluated using a publicly available dataset and an internal validation set. The overall results showed that the pix2pix model outperformed the U-Net model, with a Dice score of 0.80 [0.70; 0.86] versus 0.75 [0.0.60; 0.84] (
