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

In recent years, many pre-processing filters have been developed in order to enhance anatomical structures on chest CT images. These filters are typically based on the analysis of the multiscale second-order local information of the image, that helps identify structures with even (tubes) or odd (surfaces) symmetries. Therefore, they often require specific parameter tuning to enhance the different structures. Moreover, while the filters seem to be able to isolate the structure of interest, they do not provide information about the sub-voxel location of the feature. In this work, we present a novel method for vessel, airway, and fissure strength computation on chest CT images using convolutional neural networks. A scale-space particle segmentation is used to isolate training points for vessels, airways, and fissures which are then used to train an 8-layer neural network with 3 convolutional layers which define high order local information of the image. The network returns a probability map of each feature and provides information on the feature offset from the voxel sampling center, allowing for sub-voxel location of the different structures. The proposed method has been evaluated on clinical CT images and compared to other methods for feature enhancement available in the literature. Results show that the proposed method outperforms competing algorithms in terms of enhancement and is also unique in providing subvoxel information.
