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

Currently, the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is one of the biggest health crises threatening the world. Automatic detection from computed tomography (CT) scans is a classic method to detect lung infection, but it faces problems such as high variations in intensity, indistinct edges near lung infected region and noise due to data acquisition process. Therefore, this article proposes a new COVID-19 pulmonary infection segmentation depth network referred as the Attention Gate-Dense Network- Improved Dilation Convolution-UNET (ADID-UNET). The dense network replaces convolution and maximum pooling function to enhance feature propagation and solves gradient disappearance problem. An improved dilation convolution is used to increase the receptive field of the encoder output to further obtain more edge features from the small infected regions. The integration of attention gate into the model suppresses the background and improves prediction accuracy. The experimental results show that the ADID-UNET model can accurately segment COVID-19 lung infected areas, with performance measures greater than 80% for metrics like Accuracy, Specificity and Dice Coefficient (DC). Further when compared to other state-of-the-art architectures, the proposed model showed excellent segmentation effects with a high DC and F1 score of 0.8031 and 0.82 respectively.
