Multilevel Threshold Segmentation of Skin Lesions in Color Images Using Coronavirus Optimization Algorithm.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Skin Cancer (SC) is among the most hazardous due to its high mortality rate. Therefore, early detection of this disease would be very helpful in the treatment process. Multilevel Thresholding (MLT) is widely used for extracting regions of interest from medical images. Therefore, this paper utilizes the recent Coronavirus Disease Optimization Algorithm (COVIDOA) to address the MLT issue of SC images utilizing the hybridization of Otsu, Kapur, and Tsallis as fitness functions. Various SC images are utilized to validate the performance of the proposed algorithm. The proposed algorithm is compared to the following five meta-heuristic algorithms: Arithmetic Optimization Algorithm (AOA), Sine Cosine Algorithm (SCA), Reptile Search Algorithm (RSA), Flower Pollination Algorithm (FPA), Seagull Optimization Algorithm (SOA), and Artificial Gorilla Troops Optimizer (GTO) to prove its superiority. The performance of all algorithms is evaluated using a variety of measures, such as Mean Square Error (MSE), Peak Signal-To-Noise Ratio (PSNR), Feature Similarity Index Metric (FSIM), and Normalized Correlation Coefficient (NCC). The results of the experiments prove that the proposed algorithm surpasses several competing algorithms in terms of MSE, PSNR, FSIM, and NCC segmentation metrics and successfully solves the segmentation issue.
