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

Deep learning (DL) has been applied to glioblastoma (GBM) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) assessment for tumor segmentation and inference of molecular, diagnostic, and prognostic information. We comprehensively overviewed the currently available DL applications, critically examining the limitations that hinder their broader adoption in clinical practice and molecular research. Technical limitations to the routine application of DL include the qualitative heterogeneity of MRI, related to different machinery and protocols, and the absence of informative sequences, possibly compensated by artificial image synthesis. Moreover, taking advantage from the available benchmarks of MRI, algorithms should be trained on large amounts of data. Additionally, the segmentation of postoperative imaging should be further addressed to limit the inaccuracies previously observed for this task. Indeed, molecular information has been promisingly integrated in the most recent DL tools, providing useful prognostic and therapeutic information. Finally, ethical concerns should be carefully addressed and standardized to allow for data protection. DL has provided reliable results for GBM assessment concerning MRI analysis and segmentation, but the routine clinical application is still limited. The current limitations could be prospectively addressed, giving particular attention to data collection, introducing new technical advancements, and carefully regulating ethical issues.
