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

Dermatoscopy, high-frequency ultrasonography (HFUS) and spectrophotometry are promising quantitative imaging techniques for the investigation and diagnostics of cutaneous melanocytic tumors. In this paper, we propose the hybrid technique and automatic prognostic models by combining the quantitative image parameters of ultrasonic B-scan images, dermatoscopic and spectrophotometric images (melanin, blood and collagen) to increase accuracy in the diagnostics of cutaneous melanoma. The extracted sets of various quantitative parameters and features of dermatoscopic, ultrasonic and spectrometric images were used to develop the four different classification models: logistic regression (LR), linear discriminant analysis (LDA), support vector machine (SVM) and Naive Bayes. The results were compared to the combination of only two techniques out of three. The reliable differentiation between melanocytic naevus and melanoma were achieved by the proposed technique. The accuracy of more than 90% was estimated in the case of LR, LDA and SVM by the proposed method.
