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

Similarity measurement of lung nodules is a critical component in content-based image retrieval (CBIR), which can be useful in differentiating between benign and malignant lung nodules on computer tomography (CT). This paper proposes a new two-step CBIR scheme (TSCBIR) for computer-aided diagnosis of lung nodules. Two similarity metrics, semantic relevance and visual similarity, are introduced to measure the similarity of different nodules. The first step is to search for K most similar reference ROIs for each queried ROI with the semantic relevance metric. The second step is to weight each retrieved ROI based on its visual similarity to the queried ROI. The probability is computed to predict the likelihood of the queried ROI depicting a malignant lesion. In order to verify the feasibility of the proposed algorithm, a lung nodule dataset including 366 nodule regions of interest (ROIs) is assembled from LIDC-IDRI lung images on CT scans. Three groups of texture features are implemented to represent a nodule ROI. Our experimental results on the assembled lung nodule dataset show good performance improvement over existing popular classifiers.
