Multivariate Gaussian Bayes classifier with limited data for segmentation of clean and contaminated regions in the small bowel capsule endoscopy images.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A considerable amount of undesirable factors in the wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) procedure hinder the proper visualization of the small bowel and take gastroenterologists more time to review. Objective quantitative assessment of different bowel preparation paradigms and saving the physician reviewing time motivated us to present an automatic low-cost statistical model for automatically segmenting of clean and contaminated regions in the WCE images. In the model construction phase, only 20 manually pixel-labeled images have been used from the normal and reduced mucosal view classes of the Kvasir capsule endoscopy dataset. In addition to calculating prior probability, two different probabilistic tri-variate Gaussian distribution models (GDMs) with unique mean vectors and covariance matrices have been fitted to the concatenated RGB color pixel intensity values of clean and contaminated regions separately. Applying the Bayes rule, the membership probability of every pixel of the input test image to each of the two classes is evaluated. The robustness has been evaluated using 5 trials; in each round, from the total number of 2000 randomly selected images, 20 and 1980 images have been used for model construction and evaluation modes, respectively. Our experimental results indicate that accuracy, precision, specificity, sensitivity, area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC), dice similarity coefficient (DSC), and intersection over union (IOU) are 0.89 ± 0.07, 0.91 ± 0.07, 0.73 ± 0.20, 0.90 ± 0.12, 0.92 ± 0.06, 0.92 ± 0.05 and 0.86 ± 0.09, respectively. The presented scheme is easy to deploy for objectively assessing small bowel cleansing score, comparing different bowel preparation paradigms, and decreasing the inspection time. The results from the SEE-AI project dataset and CECleanliness database proved that the proposed scheme has good adaptability.
