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

We propose an advanced electronic nose based on SE-RelationNet for COPD diagnosis with limited breath samples. The model integrates residual blocks, BiGRU layers, and squeeze-excitation attention mechanisms to enhance feature-extraction efficiency. Experimental results demonstrate exceptional performance with minimal samples: in 4-way 1-shot tasks, the model achieves 85.8% mean accuracy (F1-score = 0.852), scaling to 93.3% accuracy (F1-score = 0.931) with four samples per class. Ablation studies confirm that the 5-layer residual structure and single-hidden-layer BiGRU optimize stability (h_F1-score ≤ 0.011). Compared to SiameseNet and ProtoNet, SE-RelationNet shows superior accuracy (>15% improvement in 1-shot tasks). This technology enables COPD detection with as few as one breath sample, facilitating early intervention to mitigate lung cancer risks in COPD patients.
