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

Medical imaging plays a pivotal role in diagnostic medicine with technologies like Magnetic Resonance Imagining (MRI), Computed Tomography (CT), Positron Emission Tomography (PET), and ultrasound scans being widely used to assist radiologists and medical experts in reaching concrete diagnosis. Given the recent massive uplift in the storage and processing capabilities of computers, and the publicly available big data, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has also started contributing to improving diagnostic radiology. Edge computing devices and handheld gadgets can serve as useful tools to process medical data in remote areas with limited network and computational resources. In this research, the capabilities of multiple platforms are evaluated for the real-time deployment of diagnostic tools. MRI classification and segmentation applications developed in previous studies are used for testing the performance using different hardware and software configurations. Cost-benefit analysis is carried out using a workstation with a NVIDIA Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), Jetson Xavier NX, Raspberry Pi 4B, and Android phone, using MATLAB, Python, and Android Studio. The mean computational times for the classification app on the PC, Jetson Xavier NX, and Raspberry Pi are 1.2074, 3.7627, and 3.4747 s, respectively. On the low-cost Android phone, this time is observed to be 0.1068 s using the Dynamic Range Quantized TFLite version of the baseline model, with slight degradation in accuracy. For the segmentation app, the times are 1.8241, 5.2641, 6.2162, and 3.2023 s, respectively, when using JPEG inputs. The Jetson Xavier NX and Android phone stand out as the best platforms due to their compact size, fast inference times, and affordability.
