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

Self-supervised learning provides an opportunity to explore unlabeled chest X-rays and their associated free-text reports accumulated in clinical routine without manual supervision. This paper proposes a Joint Image Text Representation Learning Network (JoImTeRNet) for pre-training on chest X-ray images and their radiology reports. The model was pre-trained on both the global image-sentence level and the local image region-word level for visual-textual matching. Both are bidirectionally constrained on Cross-Entropy based and ranking-based Triplet Matching Losses. The region-word matching is calculated using the attention mechanism without direct supervision about their mapping. The pre-trained multi-modal representation learning paves the way for downstream tasks concerning image and/or text encoding. We demonstrate the representation learning quality by cross-modality retrievals and multi-label classifications on two datasets: OpenI-IU and MIMIC-CXR. Our code is available at https://github.com/mshaikh2/JoImTeR_MLMI_2021.
