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

COVID-19 pandemic is widely spreading over the entire world and has established significant community spread. Fostering a prediction system can help prepare the officials to respond properly and quickly. Medical imaging like X-ray and computed tomography (CT) can play an important role in the early prediction of COVID-19 patients that will help the timely treatment of the patients. The x-ray images from COVID-19 patients reveal the pneumonia infections that can be used to identify the patients of COVID-19. This study presents the use of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) that extracts the features from chest x-ray images for the prediction. Three filters are applied to get the edges from the images that help to get the desired segmented target with the infected area of the x-ray. To cope with the smaller size of the training dataset, Keras' ImageDataGenerator class is used to generate ten thousand augmented images. Classification is performed with two, three, and four classes where the four-class problem has X-ray images from COVID-19, normal people, virus pneumonia, and bacterial pneumonia. Results demonstrate that the proposed CNN model can predict COVID-19 patients with high accuracy. It can help automate screening of the patients for COVID-19 with minimal contact, especially areas where the influx of patients can not be treated by the available medical staff. The performance comparison of the proposed approach with VGG16 and AlexNet shows that classification results for two and four classes are competitive and identical for three-class classification.
