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

With the advancement of medicine, more and more researchers have turned their attention to the study of fetal genetic diseases in recent years. However, it is still a challenge to detect genetic diseases in the fetus, especially in an area lacking access to healthcare. The existing research primarily focuses on using teenagers' or adults' face information to screen for genetic diseases, but there are no relevant directions on disease detection using fetal facial information. To fill the vacancy, we designed a two-stage ensemble learning model based on sonography, Fgds-EL, to identify genetic diseases with 932 images. Concretely speaking, we use aggregated information of facial regions to detect anomalies, such as the jaw, frontal bone, and nasal bone areas. Our experiments show that our model yields a sensitivity of 0.92 and a specificity of 0.97 in the test set, on par with the senior sonographer, and outperforming other popular deep learning algorithms. Moreover, our model has the potential to be an effective noninvasive screening tool for the early screening of genetic diseases in the fetus.
