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

Lung cancer is considered more serious among other prevailing cancer types. One of the reasons for it is that it is usually not diagnosed until it has spread and by that time it becomes very difficult to treat. Early detection of lung cancer can significantly increase the chances of survival of a cancer patient. An effective nodule detection system can play a key role in early detection of lung cancer thus increasing the chances of successful treatment. In this research work, we have proposed a novel classification framework for nodule classification. The framework consists of multiple phases that include image contrast enhancement, segmentation, optimal feature extraction, followed by employment of these features for training and testing of Support Vector Machine. We have empirically tested the efficacy of our technique by utilizing the well-known Lung Image Consortium Database (LIDC) dataset. The empirical results suggest that the technique is highly effective for reducing the false positive rates. We were able to receive an impressive sensitivity rate of 97.45%.
