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

Due to the high incidence of skin tumors, the development of computer aided-diagnosis methods will become a very powerful diagnosis tool for dermatologists. The skin diseases are initially diagnosed visually, through clinical screening and followed in some cases by dermoscopic analysis, biopsy and histopathological examination. Automatic classification of dermatoscopic images is a challenge due to fine-grained variations in lesions. The convolutional neural network (CNN), one of the most powerful deep learning techniques proved to be superior to traditional algorithms. These networks provide the flexibility of extracting discriminatory features from images that preserve the spatial structure and could be developed for region recognition and medical image classification. In this paper we proposed an architecture of CNN to classify skin lesions using only image pixels and diagnosis labels as inputs. We trained and validated the CNN model using a public dataset of 10015 images consisting of 7 types of skin lesions: actinic keratoses and intraepithelial carcinoma/Bowen disease (akiec), basal cell carcinoma (bcc), benign lesions of the keratosis type (solar lentigine/seborrheic keratoses and lichen-planus like keratosis, bkl), dermatofibroma (df), melanoma (mel), melanocytic nevi (nv) and vascular lesions (angiomas, angiokeratomas, pyogenic granulomas and hemorrhages, vasc).
