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

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, hundreds of millions of people have been infected, causing millions of deaths, and resulting in a heavy impact on the daily life of countless people. Accurately identifying patients and taking timely isolation measures are necessary ways to stop the spread of COVID-19. Besides the nucleic acid test, lung CT image detection is also a path to quickly identify COVID-19 patients. In this context, deep learning technology can help radiologists identify COVID-19 patients from CT images rapidly. In this paper, we propose a deep learning ensemble framework called VitCNX which combines Vision Transformer and ConvNeXt for COVID-19 CT image identification. We compared our proposed model VitCNX with EfficientNetV2, DenseNet, ResNet-50, and Swin-Transformer which are state-of-the-art deep learning models in the field of image classification, and two individual models which we used for the ensemble (Vision Transformer and ConvNeXt) in binary and three-classification experiments. In the binary classification experiment, VitCNX achieves the best recall of 0.9907, accuracy of 0.9821, F1-score of 0.9855, AUC of 0.9985, and AUPR of 0.9991, which outperforms the other six models. Equally, in the three-classification experiment, VitCNX computes the best precision of 0.9668, an accuracy of 0.9696, and an F1-score of 0.9631, further demonstrating its excellent image classification capability. We hope our proposed VitCNX model could contribute to the recognition of COVID-19 patients.
