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

introductionIn late 2019 and after the COVID-19 pandemic in the world, many researchers and scholars tried to provide methods for detecting COVID-19 cases. Accordingly, this study focused on identifying patients with COVID-19 from chest X-ray images.

methodsIn this paper, a method for diagnosing coronavirus disease from X-ray images was developed. In this method, DenseNet169 Deep Neural Network (DNN) was used to extract the features of X-ray images taken from the patients' chests. The extracted features were then given as input to the Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) algorithm to perform the classification task.

resultsEvaluation of the proposed approach and its comparison with the methods presented in recent years revealed that this method was more accurate and faster than the existing ones and had an acceptable performance for detecting COVID-19 cases from X-ray images. The experiments showed 98.23% and 89.70% accuracy, 99.78% and 100% specificity, 92.08% and 95.20% sensitivity in two and three-class problems, respectively.

conclusionThis study aimed to detect people with COVID-19, focusing on non-clinical approaches. The developed method could be employed as an initial detection tool to assist the radiologists in more accurate and faster diagnosing the disease. IMPLICATION FOR PRACTICE: The proposed method's simple implementation, along with its acceptable accuracy, allows it to be used in COVID-19 diagnosis. Moreover, the gradient-based class activation mapping (Grad-CAM) can be used to represent the deep neural network's decision area on a heatmap. Radiologists might use this heatmap to evaluate the chest area more accurately.
