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 pointed as a leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Early lung nodule diagnosis has great significance for treating lung cancer and increasing patient survival. In this paper, we present a novel method to classify the malignant from benign lung nodules based on CT images using squeeze-and-excitation network and aggregated residual transformations (SE-ResNeXt). The state-of-the-art SE-ResNeXt module, which integrates the advantages of SENet for feature recalibration and ResNeXt for feature reuse, has great ability in boosting feature discriminability on imaging pattern recognition. The method is evaluated on the public available LUng Nodule Analysis 2016 (LUNA16) database with 1004 (450 malignant and 554 benign) nodules, achieving an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0. 9563 and accuracy of 91.67%. The promising results demonstrate that our method has strong robustness in the classification of nodules. The method has the potential to help radiologists better interpret diagnostic data and differentiate the benign from malignant lung nodules on CT images in clinical practice. To our best knowledge, the effectiveness of SE-ResNeXt on lung nodule classification has not been extensively explored.
