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

White blood cells (WBCs) in the human immune system defend against infection and protect the body from external hazardous objects. They are comprised of neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, monocytes, and lymphocytes, whereby each accounts for a distinct percentage and performs specific functions. Traditionally, the clinical laboratory procedure for quantifying the specific types of white blood cells is an integral part of a complete blood count (CBC) test, which aids in monitoring the health of people. With the advancements in deep learning, blood film images can be classified in less time and with high accuracy using various algorithms. This paper exploits a number of state-of-the-art deep learning models and their variations based on CNN architecture. A comparative study on model performance based on accuracy, F1-score, recall, precision, number of parameters, and time was conducted, and DenseNet161 was found to demonstrate a superior performance among its counterparts. In addition, advanced optimization techniques such as normalization, mixed-up augmentation, and label smoothing were also employed on DenseNet to further refine its performance.
