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

Computer representations of three-dimensional (3D) geometries are crucial for simulating systems and processes in engineering and science. In medicine, and more specifically, biomechanics and orthopaedics, obtaining and using 3D geometries is critical to many workflows. However, while many tools exist to obtain 3D geometries of organic structures, little has been done to make them usable for their intended medical purposes. Furthermore, many of the proposed tools are proprietary, limiting their use. This work introduces two novel algorithms based on Generalized Regression Neural Networks (GRNN) and 4 processes to perform mesh morphing and overclosure adjustment. These algorithms were implemented, and test cases were used to validate them against existing algorithms to demonstrate improved performance. The resulting algorithms demonstrate improvements to existing techniques based on Radial Basis Function (RBF) networks by converting to GRNN-based implementations. Implementations in MATLAB of these algorithms and the source code are publicly available at the following locations: https://github.com/thor-andreassen/femors; https://simtk.org/projects/femors-rbf; https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/120353-finite-element-morphing-overclosure-reduction-and-slicing.
