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

Segmentation of ultrasound images is complex, and although deep learning has improved automation, trust remains limited, restricting adoption. Interpretability methods may help reveal model behaviours and failure modes, supporting more trustworthy AI systems. A U-Net with a ResNet-18 backbone was trained to segment pipes in images of the Edinburgh Pipe Phantom acquired using ten ultrasound probes (
