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

Objectives: To develop and evaluate automated segmentation models for the liver and hepatic tumors on Methods: In this single-center retrospective study, 100 patients (48 males, 52 females; mean age 61±14 years) with Results: For liver segmentation, SwinUNETR achieved a median DSC of 97.59% (range: 95.41-98.93%) with a median volumetric bias of -0.94% (LoA: -3.76% to +0.50%), while residual UNET achieved a median DSC of 97.85% (range: 94.81-98.80%) with a median volumetric bias of -0.34% (LoA: -2.63% to +1.16%). For tumor segmentation, SwinUNETR achieved a median DSC of 92.62% (range: 80.75-97.46%), an MTV bias of -8.60% (LoA: -31.62% to +1.21%), and a TLG bias of -6.40% (LoA: -25.58% to +0.76%). Residual UNET achieved a median DSC of 93.07% (range: 80.74-98.18%), MTV bias of -4.33% (LoA: -24.36% to +10.12%), and TLG bias of -11.10% (LoA: -30.8% to +4.52%). Most MTV and TLG measurements were within ±10% of reference values. Conclusion: Both SwinUNETR and Residual UNET achieved excellent liver segmentation accuracy and clinically acceptable tumor segmentation performance on
