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

To mitigate the spread of the current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, it is crucial to have an effective screening of infected patients to be isolated and treated. Chest X-Ray (CXR) radiological imaging coupled with Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications, in particular Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), can speed the COVID-19 diagnostic process. In this paper, we optimize the data augmentation and the CNN hyperparameters for detecting COVID-19 from CXRs in terms of validation accuracy. This optimization increases the accuracy of the popular CNN architectures such as the Visual Geometry Group network (VGG-19) and the Residual Neural Network (ResNet-50), by 11.93% and 4.97%, respectively. We then proposed CovidXrayNet model that is based on EfficientNet-B0 and our optimization results. We evaluated CovidXrayNet on two datasets, including our generated balanced COVIDcxr dataset (960 CXRs) and the benchmark COVIDx dataset (15,496 CXRs). With only 30 epochs of training, CovidXrayNet achieves state-of-the-art accuracy of 95.82% on the COVIDx dataset in the three-class classification task (COVID-19, normal or pneumonia). The CovidXRayNet model, the COVIDcxr dataset, and several optimization experiments are publicly available at https://github.com/MaramMonshi/CovidXrayNet.
