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

In the area of content-based image retrieval, one of the prerequisites of successful retrieval is the extraction of an ample number of distinguishing features that sufficiently describe the important characteristics represented in the image content. Parameters underlying image segmentation and feature extraction need to be set appropriately in order to have this success in retrieval. We present here a parameter tuning method using simulated annealing to dynamically adjust values of important parameters used in customized image processing algorithms for the purpose of improving the performance of retrieval for high resolution CT lung images in computer-aided diagnosis. The most notable improvement using F(β) measure among five modules is from 0.56 to 0.81, which is a 44.64% increase (p=0.022). This method provides a way to improve retrieval performance in a large variety of applications in medical imaging informatics.
