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

On July 23, 2022, the World Health Organization (WHO) officially declared the Mpox outbreak a "Public Health Emergency of International Concern" (PHEIC), highlighting the urgent need for effective prevention and control measures worldwide. To assist healthcare managers and medical professionals in efficiently and accurately identifying Mpox cases from similar conditions, this study proposes a lightweight deep learning model. The model uses EfficientNet as the backbone network and employs transfer learning techniques to transfer the pre-trained EfficientNet parameters, originally trained on the ImageNet dataset, into this model. This approach allows the model to have strong generalization capabilities while controlling the number of parameters and computational complexity. Experimental results show that, compared to existing advanced methods, the proposed method not only has a lower number of parameters (only 4.14 M), but also achieves optimal values in most performance metrics, including
