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

Aiming at detecting COVID-19 effectively, a multiscale class residual attention (MCRA) network is proposed via chest X-ray (CXR) image classification. First, to overcome the data shortage and improve the robustness of our network, a pixel-level image mixing of local regions was introduced to achieve data augmentation and reduce noise. Secondly, multi-scale fusion strategy was adopted to extract global contextual information at different scales and enhance semantic representation. Last but not least, class residual attention was employed to generate spatial attention for each class, which can avoid inter-class interference and enhance related features to further improve the COVID-19 detection. Experimental results show that our network achieves superior diagnostic performance on COVIDx dataset, and its accuracy, PPV, sensitivity, specificity and F1-score are 97.71%, 96.76%, 96.56%, 98.96% and 96.64%, respectively; moreover, the heat maps can endow our deep model with somewhat interpretability.
