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 novel coronavirus (COVID-19), has undoubtedly imprinted our lives with its deadly impact. Early testing with isolation of the individual is the best possible way to curb the spread of this deadly virus. Computer aided diagnosis (CAD) provides an alternative and cheap option for screening of the said virus. In this paper, we propose a convolution neural network (CNN)-based CAD method for COVID-19 and pneumonia detection from chest X-ray images. We consider three input types for three identical base classifiers. To capture maximum possible complementary features, we consider the original RGB image, Red channel image and the original image stacked with Robert's edge information. After that we develop an ensemble strategy based on the technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (TOPSIS) to aggregate the outcomes of base classifiers. The overall framework, called TOPCONet, is very light in comparison with standard CNN models in terms of the number of trainable parameters required. TOPCONet achieves state-of-the-art results when evaluated on the three publicly available datasets: (1) IEEE COVID-19 dataset + Kaggle Pneumonia Dataset, (2) Kaggle Radiography dataset and (3) COVIDx.
