Detection of monkeypox skin lesions using edge enhancement algorithms integrated with hybrid deep learning.
Article in Digital health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Background: The emergence of monkeypox as a global health concern highlights the need for innovative detection methods that improve upon polymerase chain reaction, which is costly, time-consuming, and poses risks of contagion to healthcare personnel. Purpose: This study proposed a lightweight deep learning framework to enhance monkeypox lesion detection using skin image data. Methods: Data augmentation and a novel edge enhancement algorithm are applied, employing contrast-limited adaptive histogram equalization and bilateral filters to refine skin images. The framework is tested across six pretrained deep learning models and one novel hybrid deep model, DenseNet121 + ConvNeXt-Tiny (DN-CXT). Performance is evaluated using accuracy, F1-score, and precision, with optimization through Adam, root mean square propagation, and stochastic gradient descent. Results: The proposed DN-CXT model achieved the highest performance, with a test accuracy of 97%, F1-score of 97%, and precision of 99%. Applied techniques such as DenseNet121, MobileNetV2, InceptionV3, and ConvNeXt-Tiny also showed exceptional results. Conclusions: The proposed framework significantly advances medical image detection for monkeypox lesions. Implications: These findings support the integration of artificial intelligence-driven methodologies into monkeypox detection workflows, potentially improving diagnostic efficiency, reducing risks to medical personnel, and enhancing healthcare response to emerging infectious diseases.
