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

objectiveTo explore the image enhancement model based on deep learning on the effect of ureteroscopy with double J tube placement and drainage on ureteral stones during pregnancy. We compare the clinical effect of ureteroscopy with double J tube placement on pregnancy complicated with ureteral stones and use medical imaging to diagnose the patient's condition and design a treatment plan.

methodsThe image enhancement model is constructed using deep learning and implemented for quality improvement in terms of image clarity. In the way, the relationship of the media transmittance and the image with blurring artifacts was established, and the model can estimate the ureteral stone predicted map of each region. Firstly, we proposed the evolution-based detail enhancement method. Then, the feature extraction network is used to capture blurring artifact-related features. Finally, the regression subnetwork is used to predict the media transmittance in the local area. Eighty pregnant patients with ureteral calculi treated in our hospital were selected as the research object and were divided into a test group and a control group according to the random number table method, 40 cases in each group. The test group underwent ureteroscopy double J tube placement, and the control group underwent ureteroscopy lithotripsy. Combined with the ultrasound scan results of the patients before and after the operation, the operation time, time to get out of bed, and hospitalization time of the two groups of patients were compared. The operation success rate and the incidence of complications within 1 month after surgery were counted in the two groups of patients.

resultsWe are able to improve the quality of the images prior to medical diagnosis. The total effective rate of the observation group was 100.0%, which is higher than that of the control group (90.0%). The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (

conclusionsThe image enhancement model based on deep learning is able to improve medical diagnosis which can assist radiologists to better locate the ureteral stones. Based on our method, double J tube placement under ureteroscopy has a significant effect on the treatment of ureteral stones during pregnancy, and it has good safety and is worthy of widespread application.
