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

Classification of benign and malignant in lung nodules using chest CT images is a key step in the diagnosis of early-stage lung cancer, as well as an effective way to improve the patients' survival rate. However, due to the diversity of lung nodules and the visual similarity of lung nodules to their surrounding tissues, it is difficult to construct a robust classification model with conventional deep learning-based diagnostic methods. To address this problem, we propose a multi-model ensemble learning architecture based on 3D convolutional neural network (MMEL-3DCNN). This approach incorporates three key ideas: (1) Constructed multi-model network architecture can be well adapted to the heterogeneity of lung nodules. (2) The input that concatenated of the intensity image corresponding to the nodule mask, the original image, and the enhanced image corresponding to which can help training model to extract advanced feature with more discriminative capacity. (3) Select the corresponding model to different nodule size dynamically for prediction, which can improve the generalization ability of the model effectively. In addition, ensemble learning is applied in this paper to further improve the robustness of the nodule classification model. The proposed method has been experimentally verified on the public dataset, LIDC-IDRI. The experimental results show that the proposed MMEL-3DCNN architecture can obtain satisfactory classification results.
