Volumetric detection of colorectal lesions for noncathartic dual-energy computed tomographic colonography.
Trial report in Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Noncathartic computed tomographic colonography (CTC) could significantly increase patient adherence to colorectal screening guidelines. However, radiologists find the interpretation of noncathartic CTC images challenging. We developed a fully automated computer-aided detection (CAD) scheme for assisting radiologists with noncathartic CTC. A volumetric method is used to detect lesions within a thick target region encompassing the colonic wall. Dual-energy CTC (DE-CTC) is used to provide more detailed information about the colon than what is possible with conventional CTC. False-positive detections are reduced by use of a random-forest classifier. The effect of the thickness of the target region on detection performance was assessed by use of 22 clinical noncathartic DE-CTC studies including 27 lesions ≥6 mm. The results indicate that the thickness parameter can have significant effect on detection accuracy. Leave-one-patient-out evaluation indicated that the proposed CAD scheme detects colorectal lesions at high accuracy in noncathartic CTC.
