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

The risk of pollen-induced allergies can be determined and predicted based on data derived from pollen monitoring. Hirst-type samplers are sensors that allow airborne pollen grains to be detected and their number to be determined. Airborne pollen grains are deposited on adhesive-coated tape, and slides are then prepared, which require further analysis by specialized personnel. Deep learning can be used to recognize pollen taxa based on microscopic images. This paper presents a method for recognizing a taxon based on microscopic images of pollen grains, allowing the pollen monitoring process to be automated. In this research, a deep CNN (convolutional neural network) model was built from scratch. Publicly available deep neural network models, pre-trained on image data (not including microscopic pictures), were also used. The results show that even a simple deep learning model produces quite good results when the classification of pollen grain taxa is performed directly from the images. The best deep learning model achieved 97.88% accuracy in the difficult task of recognizing three types of pollen grains (birch, alder, and hazel) with similar structures. The derived models can be used to build a system to support pollen monitoring experts in their work.
