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

Background: Skin lesion segmentation plays a significant role in skin cancer diagnosis. However, due to the complex shapes, varying sizes, and different color depths, precise segmentation of skin lesions is a challenging task. Therefore, the aim of this study was to design a customized deep learning (DL) model for the precise segmentation of skin lesions, particularly for complex shapes and small target lesions. Methods: In this study, an adaptive deformable fusion convolutional network (Seg-SkiNet) was proposed. Seg-SkiNet integrated dual-channel convolution encoder (Dual-Conv encoder), Multi-Scale-Multi-Receptive Field Extraction and Refinement (Multi Results: We validated the performance of Seg-SkiNet for skin lesion segmentation on three public datasets: International Skin Imaging Collaboration (ISIC)-2016, ISIC-2017, and ISIC-2018. The experimental results demonstrated that Seg-SkiNet achieved a Dice coefficient (DICE) of 93.66%, 89.44% and 92.29%, respectively. Conclusions: The Seg-SkiNet model performed excellently in segmenting complex-shaped lesions and small target lesions.
