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

Ischemic stroke is the dominant disorder for mortality and morbidity. For immediate diagnosis and treatment plan of ischemic stroke, computed tomography (CT) images are used. This paper proposes a histogram bin based novel algorithm to segment the ischemic stroke lesion using CT and optimal feature group selection to classify normal and abnormal regions. Steps followed are pre-processing, segmentation, extracting texture features, feature ranking, feature grouping, classification and optimal feature group (FG) selection. The first order features, gray level run length matrix features, gray level co-occurrence matrix features and Hu's moment features are extracted. Classification is done using logistic regression (LR), support vector machine classifier (SVMC), random forest classifier (RFC) and neural network classifier (NNC). This proposed approach effectively detects ischemic stroke lesion with a classification accuracy of 88.77%, 97.86%, 99.79% and 99.79% obtained by the LR, SVMC, RFC and NNC when FG12 is opted, which is validated by fourfold cross validation.
