A corrigendum on:
Ultrasound-based deep learning using the VGGNet model for the differentiation of benign and malignant thyroid nodules: A meta-analysis
by Zhu P-S, Zhang Y-R, Ren J-Y, Li Q-L, Chen M, Sang T, Li W-X, Li J and Cui X-W (2022). Front. Oncol. 12:944859. doi: 10.3389/fonc.2022.944859
In the published article, there was an error in Table 1. The reference numbers of each article included in this table were incorrectly marked. These citations have been changed in the table, which can be found below.
TABLE 1
Table 1 Characteristics of the included studies.
In the published article, there was also an error with two reference numbers in the text. Because reference 7 used VGG-19, and reference 18 used VGG-16, the text has been modified as follows:
A correction has been made to Results, Study characteristics, Paragraph 1. The sentence “Eight papers used the deep learning VGG-16 model (7, 14, 19–23, 25)” has been corrected to “Eight papers used the deep learning VGG-16 model (14, 18–23, 25)”.
A correction has been made to Discussion, Paragraph 8. The sentence “The 11 sets of data from eight papers used the deep learning VGG-16 models (7, 14, 19–23, 25), and 6 sets of data from four papers used the deep learning VGG-19 models (5, 6, 18, 23)” has been corrected to “The 10 sets of data from eight papers used the deep learning VGG-16 models (14, 18–23, 25), and 6 sets of data from four papers used the deep learning VGG-19 models (5–7, 23)”.
In the published article, there were further errors in the text. A correction has been made to Results, Study characteristics, Paragraph 1. The sentence “Three papers did not give an explicit number of training sets (18, 19)” has been corrected to “Two papers did not give an explicit number of training sets (18, 19)”. A correction has also been made to Discussion, Paragraph 9. The sentence “2 sets of data from three papers did not give an explicit number of training sets, 14 sets of data from eight papers did give the number of training sets” has been corrected to “2 sets of data from two papers did not give an explicit number of training sets, 14 sets of data from nine papers did give the number of training sets”.
The authors apologize for these errors and state that they do not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
