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

This study presents an application of the self-organizing migrating algorithm (SOMA) to train artificial neural networks for skin segmentation tasks. We compare the performance of SOMA with popular gradient-based optimization methods such as ADAM and SGDM, as well as with another evolutionary algorithm, differential evolution (DE). Experiments are conducted on the skin dataset, which consists of 245,057 samples with skin and non-skin labels. The results show that the neural network trained by SOMA achieves the highest accuracy (93.18%), outperforming ADAM (84.87%), SGDM (84.79%), and DE (91.32%). The visual evaluation also reveals the SOMA-trained neural network's accurate and reliable segmentation capabilities in most cases. These findings highlight the potential of incorporating evolutionary optimization algorithms like SOMA into the training process of artificial neural networks, significantly improving performance in image segmentation tasks.
