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 small size of labelled samples is one of the challenging problems in identifying early lung nodules from CT images using deep learning methods. Recent literature on the topic shows that deep convolutional generative adversarial network (DCGAN) has been used in medical data synthesis and gained some success, but does not demonstrate satisfactory results in synthesizing CT images. It primarily suffers from the problem of model convergence and is prone to mode collapse. In this paper, we propose a generative adversarial network (GAN) model with prior knowledge to generate CT images of early lung nodules from a small-size of labelled samples, i.e., SLS-PriGAN. Particularly, a knowledge acquisition network and a sharpening network are designed for priori knowledge learning and acquisition, and then, a GAN model is developed to produce CT images of early lung nodules. To validate our method, a general fast R-CNN network is trained using the CT images generated by SLS-PriGAN. The experiment result shows that it achieved a recognizing accuracy of 91%, a recall rate of 81%, and
