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

The automatic segmentation of lung lesions from COVID-19 computed tomography (CT) images is helpful in establishing a quantitative model to diagnose and treat COVID-19. To this end, this study proposes a lightweight segmentation network called the SuperMini-Seg. We propose a new module called the transformer parallel convolution module (TPCB), which introduces both transformer and convolution operations in one module. SuperMini-seg adopts the structure of a double-branch parallel to downsample the image and designs a gated attention mechanism in the middle of the two parallel branches. At the same time, the attentive hierarchical spatial pyramid (AHSP) module and criss-cross attention module are adopted, and more than 100K parameters are present in the model. At the same time, the model is scalable, and the parameter quantity of SuperMini-seg-V2 reaches more than 70K. Compared with other advanced methods, the segmentation accuracy was almost reached the state-of-art method. The calculation efficiency was high, which is convenient for practical deployment.
