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

Sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) is the most common sleep disorder which affects human life and health. Many researchers use deep learning methods to automatically learn the features of physiological signals. However, these methods ignore the different effects of multichannel features from various physiological signals. To solve this problem, we propose a multichannel fusion network (MCFN), which learns the multilevel features through a convolution neural network on different respiratory signals and then reconstructs the relationship between feature channels with an attention mechanism. MCFN effectively fuses the multichannel features to improve the SAS detection performance. We conducted experiments on the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) dataset, consisting of 2056 subjects. The experiment results show that our proposed network achieves an overall accuracy of 87.3%, which is better than other SAS detection methods and can better assist sleep experts in diagnosing sleep disorders.
