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

Convolutional neural networks (CNN) are widely used for medical image segmentation. However, they lack an inherent measure of confidence. Existing methods for estimating prediction uncertainty often require a custom network architecture and/or dedicated training setups and need to be trained from scratch. In addition, the deduction of a single confidence score per input from the uncertainty maps is not always straightforward. In this study, we explore voxel-based uncertainty estimation methods that can be added to existing segmentation pipelines without training from scratch. We also propose a novel method to estimate a single confidence score from the uncertainty maps. Our evaluations on different ROIs and modalities suggest that our confidence score can predict segmentation performance in unseen data.
