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

Objective: To investigate the application value of a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) model for cytological assessment of thyroid nodules. Methods: 117 patients with thyroid nodules who underwent thyroid cytology examination in the Affiliated People's Hospital of Ningbo University between January 2017 and December 2019 were included in this study. 100 papillary thyroid cancer samples and 100 nonmalignant samples were collected respectively. The sample images were translated vertically and horizontally. Thus, 900 images were separately created in the vertical and horizontal directions. The sample images were randomly divided into training samples ( Results: With the number of iterations increasing, the training and verification loss of CNN model gradually decreased and tended to be stable, and the training and verification accuracy of CNN model gradually increased and tended to be stable. The average loss rate of training samples determined by the CNN model was (22.35 ± 0.62) %, and the average loss rate of test samples determined by the CNN model was (26.41 ± 3.37) %. The average accuracy rate of training samples determined by the CNN model was (91.04 ± 2.11) %, and the average accuracy rate of test samples determined by the CNN model was (91.26 ± 1.02)%. Conclusion: A CNN model exhibits a high value in the cytological diagnosis of thyroid diseases which can be used for the cytological diagnosis of malignant thyroid tumor in the clinic.
