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

Pathology nuclei segmentation is crucial of computer-aided diagnosis in pathology. However, due to the high density, complex backgrounds, and blurred cell boundaries, it makes pathology cell segmentation still a challenging problem. In this paper, we propose a network model for pathology image segmentation based on a multi-scale Transformer multi-attention mechanism. To solve the problem that the high density of cell nuclei and the complexity of the background make it difficult to extract features, a dense attention module is embedded in the encoder, which improves the learning of the target cell information to minimize target information loss; Additionally, to solve the problem of poor segmentation accuracy due to the blurred cell boundaries, the Multi-scale Transformer Attention module is embedded between encoder and decoder, improving the transfer of the boundary feature information and makes the segmented cell boundaries more accurate. Experimental results on MoNuSeg, GlaS and CoNSeP datasets demonstrate the network's superior accuracy.
