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 recent human coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a respiratory infection caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Given the effects of COVID-19 in pulmonary tissues, chest radiography imaging plays an important role in the screening, early detection, and monitoring of the suspected individuals. Hence, as the pandemic of COVID-19 progresses, there will be a greater reliance on the use of portable equipment for the acquisition of chest X-ray images due to its accessibility, widespread availability, and benefits regarding to infection control issues, minimizing the risk of cross-contamination. This work presents novel fully automatic approaches specifically tailored for the classification of chest X-ray images acquired by portable equipment into 3 different clinical categories: normal, pathological, and COVID-19. For this purpose, 3 complementary deep learning approaches based on a densely convolutional network architecture are herein presented. The joint response of all the approaches allows to enhance the differentiation between patients infected with COVID-19, patients with other diseases that manifest characteristics similar to COVID-19 and normal cases. The proposed approaches were validated over a dataset specifically retrieved for this research. Despite the poor quality of the chest X-ray images that is inherent to the nature of the portable equipment, the proposed approaches provided global accuracy values of 79.62%, 90.27% and 79.86%, respectively, allowing a reliable analysis of portable radiographs to facilitate the clinical decision-making process.
