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

contextThe COVID-19 virus, exactly like in numerous other diseases, can be contaminated from person to person by inhalation. In order to prevent the spread of this virus, which led to a pandemic around the world, a series of rules have been set by governments that people must follow. The obligation to use face masks, especially in public spaces, is one of these rules.

objectiveThe aim of this study is to determine whether people are wearing the face mask correctly by using deep learning methods.

methodsA dataset consisting of 2000 images was created. In the dataset, images of a person from three different angles were collected in four classes, which are "masked", "non-masked", "masked but nose open", and "masked but under the chin". Using this data, new models are proposed by transferring the learning through AlexNet and VGG16, which are the Convolutional Neural network architectures. Classification layers of these models were removed and, Long-Short Term Memory and Bi-directional Long-Short Term Memory architectures were added instead. RESULT AND

conclusionsAlthough there are four different classes to determine whether the face masks are used correctly, in the six models proposed, high success rates have been achieved. Among all models, the TrVGG16 + BiLSTM model has achieved the highest classification accuracy with 95.67%. SIGNIFICANCE: The study has proven that it can take advantage of the proposed models in conjunction with transfer learning to ensure the proper and effective use of the face mask, considering the benefit of society.
