KD-SqueezeNet: an efficient deep learning strategy for the multi-task diagnosis of neonatal lung diseases.
Article in Pediatric radiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe integration of deep learning in medical imaging has reached proficiency levels akin to expert clinicians, particularly in tasks requiring precise image categorization.
objectiveThis study developed KD-SqueezeNet, a lightweight deep learning model, to classify neonatal lung diseases via chest radiographs, aiming to enhance diagnostic accuracy and efficiency. MATERIALS AND
methodsRetrospective analysis included 2,089 neonates with clinical and imaging records. Chest radiographs were categorized into five groups: bronchopulmonary dysplasia (group 1, n=205), pneumonia (group 2, n=505), pneumothorax (group 3, n=201), respiratory distress syndrome (group 4, n=629), and normal (group 5, n=549). Data were divided into training, testing, and validation sets with an 8:1:1 ratio. Performance metrics included accuracy (Ac), precision (Pr), recall (Rc), F1 score (F1), parameter count, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC).
resultsKD-SqueezeNet, an interpretable model integrating knowledge distillation, outperformed EfficientNet, GhostNet, InceptionNet, RegNet, and Vision Transformer. For binary classification (healthy/diseased), it achieved Ac=0.93, Pr=0.93, Rc=0.93, F1=0.93, and AUROC=0.97 with only 723,522 parameters. In four-class classification (group 1/group 2/group 3/group 4), it attained Ac=0.86, Pr=0.86, Rc=0.86, and F1=0.86 (724,548 parameters), with class-specific AUROCs: group 1 (0.97), group 2 (0.94), group 3 (0.96), group 4 (0.97).
conclusionKD-SqueezeNet not only excels in accuracy and stability but also demonstrates efficient utilization of computational resources, making it suitable for rapid diagnosis and deployment in practical applications. It holds significant clinical value in terms of saving time and server space, providing auxiliary diagnostics, supporting clinical decision-making, and improving patient outcomes in large-scale screening contexts.
