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

Inherently ultrasound images are susceptible to noise which leads to several image quality issues. Hence, rating of an image's quality is crucial since diagnosing diseases requires accurate and high-quality ultrasound images. This research presents an intelligent architecture to rate the quality of ultrasound images. The formulated image quality recognition approach fuses feature from a Fuzzy convolutional neural network (fuzzy CNN) and a handcrafted feature extraction method. We implement the fuzzy layer in between the last max pooling and the fully connected layer of the multiple state-of-the-art CNN models to handle the uncertainty of information. Moreover, the fuzzy CNN uses Particle swarm optimization (PSO) as an optimizer. In addition, a novel Quantitative feature extraction machine (QFEM) extracts hand-crafted features from ultrasound images. Next, the proposed method uses different classifiers to predict the image quality. The classifiers categories ultrasound images into four types (normal, noisy, blurry, and distorted) instead of binary classification into good or poor-quality images. The results of the proposed method exhibit a significant performance in accuracy (99.62%), precision (99.62%), recall (99.61%), and f1-score (99.61%). This method will assist a physician in automatically rating informative ultrasound images with steadfast operation in real-time medical diagnosis.
