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

Challenging tasks such as lesion segmentation, classification, and analysis for the assessment of disease progression can be automatically achieved using deep learning (DL)-based algorithms. DL techniques such as 3D convolutional neural networks are trained using heterogeneous volumetric imaging data such as MRI, CT, and PET, among others. However, DL-based methods are usually only applicable in the presence of the desired number of inputs. In the absence of one of the required inputs, the method cannot be used. By implementing a generative adversarial network (GAN), we aim to apply multi-label automatic segmentation of brain tumors to synthetic images when not all inputs are present. The implemented GAN is based on the Pix2Pix architecture and has been extended to a 3D framework named Pix2PixNIfTI. For this study, 1,251 patients of the BraTS2021 dataset comprising sequences such as T
