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

Accurate detection of liver lesions from multi-phase contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) scans is a fundamental step for precise liver diagnosis and treatment. However, the analysis of multi-phase contexts is heavily challenged by the misalignment caused by respiration coupled with the movement of organs. Here, we proposed an AI system for multi-phase liver lesion segmentation (named MULLET) for precise and fully automatic segmentation of real-patient CECT images. MULLET enables effectively embedding the important ROIs of CECT images and exploring multi-phase contexts by introducing a transformer-based attention mechanism. Evaluated on 1,229 CECT scans from 1,197 patients, MULLET demonstrated significant performance gains in terms of Dice, Recall, and F2 score, which are 5.80%, 6.57%, and 5.87% higher than state of the arts, respectively. MULLET has been successfully deployed in real-world settings. The deployed AI web server provides a powerful system to boost clinical workflows of liver lesion diagnosis and could be straightforwardly extended to general CECT analyses.
