Think positive: An interpretable neural network for image recognition.
Article in Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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 COVID-19 pandemic is an ongoing pandemic and is placing additional burden on healthcare systems around the world. Timely and effectively detecting the virus can help to reduce the spread of the disease. Although, RT-PCR is still a gold standard for COVID-19 testing, deep learning models to identify the virus from medical images can also be helpful in certain circumstances. In particular, in situations when patients undergo routine X-rays and/or CT-scans tests but within a few days of such tests they develop respiratory complications. Deep learning models can also be used for pre-screening prior to RT-PCR testing. However, the transparency/interpretability of the reasoning process of predictions made by such deep learning models is essential. In this paper, we propose an interpretable deep learning model that uses positive reasoning process to make predictions. We trained and tested our model over the dataset of chest CT-scan images of COVID-19 patients, normal people and pneumonia patients. Our model gives the accuracy, precision, recall and F-score equal to 99.48%, 0.99, 0.99 and 0.99, respectively.
