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

This article reports the results of the second iteration of the autoPET challenge on automated lesion segmentation in whole-body PET/CT, held in conjunction with the 26th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention in 2023. In contrast to the first autoPET challenge, which served as a proof of concept, this study investigates whether machine learning-based segmentation models trained on data from a single source can maintain performance across clinically relevant variations in PET/CT data, reflecting the demands of real-world deployment.
