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

The novel coronavirus severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused a major pandemic outbreak recently. Various diagnostic technologies have been under active development. The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) may induce pulmonary failures, and chest X-ray imaging becomes one of the major confirmed diagnostic technologies. The very limited number of publicly available samples has rendered the training of the deep neural networks unstable and inaccurate. This study proposed a two-step transfer learning pipeline and a deep residual network framework COVID19XrayNet for the COVID-19 detection problem based on chest X-ray images. COVID19XrayNet firstly tunes the transferred model on a large dataset of chest X-ray images, which is further tuned using a small dataset of annotated chest X-ray images. The final model achieved 0.9108 accuracy. The experimental data also suggested that the model may be improved with more training samples being released. COVID19XrayNet, a two-step transfer learning framework designed for biomedical images.
