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

Accurate segmentation of glomeruli in kidney histopathology images is vital for diagnosing renal diseases but remains challenging due to several limitations in current CNN-based methods. First, multiscale learning struggles to preserve the critical features of small glomeruli, as uniform processing dilutes their discriminative information and hinders effective separation from surrounding tissue. Second, limited interaction between consecutive layers leads to incomplete feature fusion, weakening the representation of complex glomeruli structures. Finally, traditional upsampling techniques introduce artifacts like checkerboards and blurred edges, further compromising segmentation accuracy. To address these challenges, we propose GlomNet, a simple yet effective glomeruli segmentation network designed for whole-slide images (WSIs) with diverse staining protocols, enabling accurate segmentation for Kidney disease diagnosis. GlomNet integrates three key components: Local-Global Cris-Cross Former (LGC
