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

backgroundAs blood testing is radiation-free, low-cost and simple to operate, some researchers use machine learning to detect COVID-19 from blood test data. However, few studies take into consideration the imbalanced data distribution, which can impair the performance of a classifier.

methodA novel combined dynamic ensemble selection (DES) method is proposed for imbalanced data to detect COVID-19 from complete blood count. This method combines data preprocessing and improved DES. Firstly, we use the hybrid synthetic minority over-sampling technique and edited nearest neighbor (SMOTE-ENN) to balance data and remove noise. Secondly, in order to improve the performance of DES, a novel hybrid multiple clustering and bagging classifier generation (HMCBCG) method is proposed to reinforce the diversity and local regional competence of candidate classifiers.

resultsThe experimental results based on three popular DES methods show that the performance of HMCBCG is better than only use bagging. HMCBCG+KNE obtains the best performance for COVID-19 screening with 99.81% accuracy, 99.86% F1, 99.78% G-mean and 99.81% AUC.

conclusionCompared to other advanced methods, our combined DES model can improve accuracy, G-mean, F1 and AUC of COVID-19 screening.
