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

(1) Background: In this paper, an artificial neural network approach for effective and real-time quantitative microwave breast imaging is proposed. It proposes some numerical analyses for the optimization of the network architecture and the improvement of recovery performance and processing time in the microwave breast imaging framework, which represents a fundamental preliminary step for future diagnostic applications. (2) Methods: The methodological analysis of the proposed approach is based on two main aspects: firstly, the definition and generation of a proper database adopted for the training of the neural networks and, secondly, the design and analysis of different neural network architectures. (3) Results: The methodology was tested in noisy numerical scenarios with different values of SNR showing good robustness against noise. The results seem very promising in comparison with conventional nonlinear inverse scattering approaches from a qualitative as well as a quantitative point of view. (4) Conclusion: The use of quantitative microwave imaging and neural networks can represent a valid alternative to (or completion of) modern conventional medical imaging techniques since it is cheaper, safer, fast, and quantitative, thus suitable to assist medical decisions.
