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

COVID-19 has had a detrimental impact on normal activities, public safety, and the global financial system. To identify the presence of this disease within communities and to commence the management of infected patients early, positive cases should be diagnosed as quickly as possible. New results from X-ray imaging indicate that images provide key information about COVID-19. Advanced deep-learning (DL) models can be applied to X-ray radiological images to accurately diagnose this disease and to mitigate the effects of a shortage of skilled medical personnel in rural areas. However, the performance of DL models strongly depends on the methodology used to design their architectures. Therefore, deep neuroevolution (DNE) techniques are introduced to automatically design DL architectures accurately. In this paper, a new paradigm is proposed for the automated diagnosis of COVID-19 from chest X-ray images using a novel two-stage improved DNE Algorithm. The proposed DNE framework is evaluated on a real-world dataset and the results demonstrate that it provides the highest classification performance in terms of different evaluation metrics.
