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

Accurate segmentation of kidney tumors in CT images is very important in the diagnosis of kidney cancer. Automatic semantic segmentation of the kidney tumor has shown promising results towards developing advance surgical planning techniques in the treatment of kidney tumor. However, the relatively small size of kidney tumor volume in comparison to the overall kidney volume, and its irregular distribution and shape makes it difficult to accurately segment the tumors. In addressing this issue, we proposed a coarse to fine segmentation which leverages on transfer learning using SE-ResNeXt model for the initial segmentation and ResNet and Feature Pyramid Network for the final segmentation. The processes are related and the output of the initial results was used for the final training. We trained and evaluated our method on the KITS19 dataset and achieved a dice score of 0.7388 and Jaccard score 0.7321 for the final segmentation demonstrating promising results when compared to other approaches.
