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

objectiveDue to the COVID-19 pandemic, our daily habits have suddenly changed. Gatherings are forbidden and, even when it is possible to leave the home for health or work reasons, it is necessary to wear a face mask to reduce the possibility of contagion. In this context, it is crucial to detect violations by people who do not wear a face mask. MATERIALS AND

methodsFor these reasons, in this article, we introduce a method aimed to automatically detect whether people are wearing a face mask. We design a transfer learning approach by exploiting the MobileNetV2 model to identify face mask violations in images/video streams. Moreover, the proposed approach is able to localize the area related to the face mask detection with relative probability.

resultsTo asses the effectiveness of the proposed approach, we evaluate a dataset composed of 4095 images related to people wearing and not wearing face masks, obtaining an accuracy of 0.98 in face mask detection. DISCUSSION AND

conclusionThe experimental analysis shows that the proposed method can be successfully exploited for face mask violation detection. Moreover, we highlight that it is working also on device with limited computational capability and it is able to process in real time images and video streams, making our proposal applicable in the real world.
