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

introductionThere is a lack of objective, accurate, and convenient methods for classification diagnostic hypopigmented dermatoses (HD) and severity evaluation of vitiligo. To achieve an accurate and intelligent classification diagnostic model of HD and severity evaluation model of vitiligo using a deep learning-based method.

methodsA total of 11,483 images from 4744 patients with HD were included in this study. An optimal diagnostic model was constructed by merging the squeeze-and-excitation (SE) module with the candidate model, its diagnostic efficiency was compared with that of 98 dermatologists. An objective severity evaluation indicator was proposed through weighting method and combined with a segmentation model to form a severity evaluation model, which was then compared with the assessments conducted by three experienced dermatologists using the naked eye.

resultsThe improved diagnosis model SE_ResNet-18 outperformed the other 11 classic models with an accuracy of 0.9389, macro-specificity of 0.9878, and macro-f1 score of 0.9395, and outperformed the different categories of 98 dermatologists (P < 0.001). The weighted Kappa test indicated medium consistency between the Indicator

conclusionsThis study proposes an objective, accurate, and convenient hybrid model for diagnosing HD and evaluating the severity of vitiligo, providing a method for dermatologists especially in grassroots hospitals, and provides a foundation for telemedicine.
