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

backgroundEarly detection of laryngeal masses without periodic visits to hospitals is essential for improving the possibility of full recovery and the long-term survival ratio after prompt treatment, as well as reducing the risk of clinical infection.

resultsWe first propose a convolutional neural network model for automated laryngeal mass detection based on diagnostic images captured at hospitals. Thereafter, we propose a pilot system, composed of an embedded controller, a camera module, and an LCD display, that can be utilized for a home-based self-screening test. In terms of evaluating the model's performance, the experimental results indicated a final validation loss of 0.9152 and a F1-score of 0.8371 before post-processing. Additionally, the F1-score of the original computer algorithm with respect to 100 randomly selected color-printed test images was 0.8534 after post-processing while that of the embedded pilot system was 0.7672.

conclusionsThe proposed technique is expected to increase the ratio of early detection of laryngeal masses without the risk of clinical infection spread, which could help improve convenience and ensure safety of individuals, patients, and medical staff.
