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

The field of supervised automated medical imaging segmentation suffers from relatively small datasets with ground truth labels. This is especially true for challenging segmentation problems that target structures with low contrast and ambiguous boundaries, such as ground glass opacities and consolidation in chest computed tomography images. In this work, we make available the first public dataset of ground glass opacity and consolidation in the lungs of Long COVID patients. The Long COVID Iowa-UNICAMP dataset (LongCIU) was built by three independent expert annotators, blindly segmenting the same 90 selected axial slices manually, without using any automated initialization. The public dataset includes the final consensus segmentation in addition to the individual segmentation from each annotator (360 slices total). This dataset is a valuable resource for training and validating new automated segmentation methods and for studying interrater uncertainty in the segmentation of lung opacities in computed tomography.
