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

Automatic segmentation of lung lesions from COVID-19 computed tomography (CT) images can help to establish a quantitative model for diagnosis and treatment. For this reason, this article provides a new segmentation method to meet the needs of CT images processing under COVID-19 epidemic. The main steps are as follows: First, the proposed region of interest extraction implements patch mechanism strategy to satisfy the applicability of 3-D network and remove irrelevant background. Second, 3-D network is established to extract spatial features, where 3-D attention model promotes network to enhance target area. Then, to improve the convergence of network, a combination loss function is introduced to lead gradient optimization and training direction. Finally, data augmentation and conditional random field are applied to realize data resampling and binary segmentation. This method was assessed with some comparative experiment. By comparison, the proposed method reached the highest performance. Therefore, it has potential clinical applications.
