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

Purpose: To develop a deep learning model for multi-anatomy segmentation of diverse anatomic structures on MRI. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, 44 structures were annotated using a model-assisted workflow with manual human finalization in 2 curated datasets: an internal dataset of 1518 MRI sequences (843 patients) from various clinical sites within a health system, and an external dataset of 397 MRI sequences (263 patients) from an independent imaging center for benchmarking. The internal dataset was used to train an nnU-Net model (MRAnnotator), while the external dataset evaluated MRAnnotator's generalizability across significant image acquisition distribution shifts. MRAnnotator was further benchmarked against an nnU-Net model trained on the AMOS dataset and 2 current multi-anatomy MRI segmentation models, TotalSegmentator MRI (TSM) and MRSegmentator (MRS). Performance throughout was quantified using the Dice score. Results: MRAnnotator achieved an overall average Dice score of 0.878 (95% CI: 0.873, 0.884) on the internal dataset test set and 0.875 (95% CI: 0.869, 0.880) on the external dataset benchmark, demonstrating strong generalization ( Conclusion: MRAnnotator achieves robust and generalizable MRI segmentation across 44 anatomic structures. Future direction will incorporate additional anatomic structures into the datasets and model. Model weights are publicly available on GitHub. The external test set with annotations is available upon request.
