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 investigate the use of transfer learning when applying a deep learning source model from one institution (institution A) to another institution (institution B) for creating effective models (target models) for the detection of maxillary sinuses and diagnosis of maxillary sinusitis on panoramic radiographs. In addition, to determine appropriate numbers of training data for the transfer learning. Source model was created using 350 panoramic radiographs from institution A as training data. Transfer learning was performed by adding 25, 50, 100, 150, or 225 panoramic radiographs as training data from institution B to the source model; this yielded the target models T25, T50, T100, T150 and T225. Each model was then evaluated using test data that comprised 40 images from institution A, 30 images from institution B. The performance indices (recall, precision and F1 score) for detecting the maxillary sinuses by the source model exceeded 0.98 when using test data A from institution A, but they deteriorated when using test data B from institution B. In the evaluation of target models using test data B, model T25 showed improved detection performance (recall of 0.967). The diagnostic performance of model T50 for maxillary sinusitis exceeded 0.9 in sensitivity. Transfer learning, which involves applying a small amount of data to the source model, yielded high performances in detecting the maxillary sinuses and diagnosing the maxillary sinusitis on panoramic radiographs. This study serves as a reference when adapting source models to other institutions.
