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

Endoscopy is a major tool for assessing the physiology of inner organs. Contemporary artificial intelligence methods are used to fully automatically label medical important classes on a pixel-by-pixel level. This so-called semantic segmentation is for example used to detect cancer tissue or to assess laryngeal physiology. However, due to the diversity of patients presenting, it is necessary to judge the segmentation quality. In this study, we present a fully automatic system to evaluate the segmentation performance in laryngeal endoscopy images. We showcase on glottal area segmentation that the predicted segmentation quality represented by the intersection over union metric is on par with human raters. Using a traffic light system, we are able to identify problematic segmentation frames to allow human-in-the-loop improvements, important for the clinical adaptation of automatic analysis procedures.
