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

Lung images often have the characteristics of strong noise, uneven grayscale distribution, and complex pathological structures, which makes lung image segmentation a challenging task. To solve this problems, this paper proposes an initial lung mask extraction algorithm that combines threshold and gradient. The gradient used in the algorithm is obtained by the time series feature extraction method based on differential memory (TFDM), which is obtained by the grayscale threshold and image grayscale features. At the same time, we also proposed a lung contour repair algorithm based on the improved convex hull method to solve the contour loss caused by solid nodules and other lesions. Experimental results show that on the COVID-19 CT segmentation dataset, the advanced lung segmentation algorithm proposed in this article achieves better segmentation results and greatly improves the consistency and accuracy of lung segmentation. Our method can obtain more lung information, resulting in ideal segmentation effects with improved accuracy and robustness.
