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

objectiveThis paper describes the state of the art, scientific publications, and ongoing research related to the methods of analysis of respiratory sounds. METHODS AND MATERIAL: Narrative review of the current medical and technological literature using Pubmed and personal experience.

resultsWe outline the various techniques that are currently being used to collect auscultation sounds and provide a physical description of known pathological sounds for which automatic detection tools have been developed. Modern tools are based on artificial intelligence and techniques such as artificial neural networks, fuzzy systems, and genetic algorithms.

conclusionThe next step will consist of finding new markers to increase the efficiency of decision-aiding algorithms and tools.
