Automatic Segmentation of Heschl Gyrus and Planum Temporale by MRICloud.
Article in Otology & neurotology open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Objectives: This study used a cloud-based program, MRICloud, which parcellates T1 MRI brain scans using a probabilistic classification based on manually labeled multi-atlas, to create a tool to segment Heschl gyrus (HG) and the planum temporale (PT). Methods: MRICloud is an online platform that can automatically segment structural MRIs into 287 labeled brain regions. A 31-brain multi-atlas was manually resegmented to include tags for the HG and PT. This modified atlas set with additional manually labeled regions of interest acted as a new multi-atlas set and was uploaded to MRICloud. This new method of automated segmentation of HG and PT was then compared to manual segmentation of HG and PT in MRIs of 10 healthy adults using Dice similarity coefficient (DSC), Hausdorff distance (HD), and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Results: This multi-atlas set was uploaded to MRICloud for public use. When compared to reference manual segmentations of the HG and PT, there was an average DSC for HG and PT of 0.62 ± 0.07, HD of 8.10 ± 3.47 mm, and an ICC for these regions of 0.83 (0.68-0.91), consistent with an appropriate automatic segmentation accuracy. Conclusion: This multi-atlas can alleviate the manual segmentation effort and the difficulty in choosing an HG and PT anatomical definition. This protocol is limited by the morphology of the MRI scans needed to make the MRICloud atlas set. Future work will apply this multi-atlas to observe MRI changes in hearing-associated disorders.
