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

Skin cancer is one of the primary causes of death globally, and experts diagnose it by visual inspection, which can be inaccurate. The need for developing a computer-aided method to aid dermatologists in diagnosing skin cancer is highlighted by the fact that early identification can lower the number of deaths caused by skin malignancies. Among computer-aided techniques, deep learning is the most popular for identifying cancer from skin lesion images. Due to their power-efficient behavior, spiking neural networks are attractive deep neural networks for hardware implementation. We employed deep spiking neural networks using the surrogate gradient descent method to classify 3670 melanoma and 3323 non-melanoma images from the ISIC 2019 dataset. We achieved an accuracy of 89.57% and an F1 score of 90.07% using the proposed spiking VGG-13 model, which is higher than the VGG-13 and AlexNet using less trainable parameters.
