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

Comprehensive visualization and accurate extraction of tumor vasculature are essential to study the nature of glioma. Nowadays, tissue clearing technology enables 3D visualization of human glioma vasculature at micron resolution, but current vessel extraction schemes cannot well cope with the extraction of complex tumor vessels with high disruption and irregularity under realistic conditions. Here, we developed a framework, FineVess, based on deep learning to automatically extract glioma vessels in confocal microscope images of cleared human tumor tissues. In the framework, a customized deep learning network, named 3D ResCBAM nnU-Net, was designed to segment the vessels, and a novel pipeline based on preprocessing and post-processing was developed to refine the segmentation results automatically. On the basis of its application to a practical dataset, we showed that the FineVess enabled extraction of variable and incomplete vessels with high accuracy in challenging 3D images, better than other traditional and state-of-the-art schemes. For the extracted vessels, we calculated vascular morphological features including fractal dimension and vascular wall integrity of different tumor grades, and verified the vascular heterogeneity through quantitative analysis.
