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

purposeAccurate 3D aortic segmentation in CT images is vital for cardiovascular disease diagnosis, surgical planning, and intraoperative navigation. Existing aortic segmentation methods suffer from 3D incoherence (frame-level models) or cumulative memory drift (memory-based video models), failing to meet real-time clinical demands for surgical planning. This study developed the Adaptive Memory Rectification Video Segmentation Framework (AMR-VSF) to integrate both models' strengths, optimizing single-frame anatomical accuracy and cross-frame temporal stability while meeting real-time demands.

methodsAMR-VSF uses a 4-stage modular architecture: (1) Frame-level models generate anatomically complete initial masks; (2) MedSAM2 enables cross-frame mask propagation for temporal consistency; (3) Dual "coverage-diameter deviation rate" metrics detect drift, with segmented memory reset (partial clearing for stable areas, full clearing for complex ones) to correct it; (4) Dynamic weight fusion balances local accuracy and global consistency. TensorRT optimized MedSAM2, and the framework was validated on 92 patients' CT aortic data (≈76,000 slices).

resultsAMR-VSF (nnUNet-based) achieved optimal performance: Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) 0.963 (5.1% higher than MedSAM2 alone), 95% Hausdorff Distance (HD95) 3.32 mm (38.2% lower), and Average Surface Distance (ASD) 0.61 mm (38.4% lower than the latter). TensorRT cut MedSAM2's single-frame inference time from 73.1 to 31.2 ms with no accuracy loss. Its outputs enabled 3D reconstruction of the aorta (complete "aortic arch-thoracic aorta-abdominal aorta-branch vessels" topological connection, anatomy-matched smooth edges), and the framework showed strong compatibility with diverse models, with potential extension to other long-sequence luminal structure segmentation.

conclusionAMR-VSF addresses existing limitations by combining frame-level and video models, achieving high accuracy and stability. TensorRT enables real-time use, and its 3D models support tasks like aneurysm measurement. It is compatible and extensible, supporting precise cardiovascular care.
