Improve the performance of CT-based pneumonia classification via source data reweighting.
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Pneumonia is a life-threatening disease. Computer tomography (CT) imaging is broadly used for diagnosing pneumonia. To assist radiologists in accurately and efficiently detecting pneumonia from CT scans, many deep learning methods have been developed. These methods require large amounts of annotated CT scans, which are difficult to obtain due to privacy concerns and high annotation costs. To address this problem, we develop a three-level optimization based method which leverages CT data from a source domain to mitigate the lack of labeled CT scans in a target domain. Our method automatically identifies and downweights low-quality source CT data examples which are noisy or have large domain discrepancy with target data, by minimizing the validation loss of a target model trained on reweighted source data. On a target dataset with 2218 CT scans and a source dataset with 349 CT images, our method achieves an F1 score of 91.8% in detecting pneumonia and an F1 score of 92.4% in detecting other types of pneumonia, which are significantly better than those achieved by state-of-the-art baseline methods.
