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

High-quality segmentation datasets are essential for advancing AI applications in medical imaging. However, it is challenging to generate such datasets for highly variable and complex organs like the colon. We introduce a dataset of 435 human colons, segmented from Computed Tomography Colonography (CTC) obtained from the publicly available The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA). Each scan includes a mask of the whole colon, including collapsed segments and the fluid, and a mask of only the gas-filled parts of the colon. The colon segmentation accuracy has been clinically validated by an expert abdominal radiologist. This is the first open-access dataset of segmented colons derived from CTC. This resource enables population-scale radiologic studies, supports the development of AI-based image analysis tools, and facilitates the creation of anatomically accurate digital models and simulators, both virtual and physical.
