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

objectivesTo evaluate machine learning (ML) to detect chest CT examinations with dose optimization potential for quality assurance in a retrospective, cross-sectional study.

methodsThree thousand one hundred ninety-nine CT chest examinations were used for training and testing of the feed-forward, single hidden layer neural network (January 2016-December 2017, 60% male, 62 ± 15 years, 80/20 split). The model was optimized and trained to predict the volumetric computed tomography dose index (CTDI

resultsRMSE was 1.71, 1.45, and 1.52 for the training, test, and validation dataset, respectively. The scanner and D

conclusionsML can comprehensively detect CT examinations with dose optimization potential. It may be a helpful tool to simplify CT quality assurance. CT scanner and D KEY POINTS: • Machine learning can be integrated into CT quality assurance to improve retrospective analysis of CT dose data. • Machine learning may help to comprehensively detect dose optimization potential in chest CT, but an individual review of the results by an experienced radiologist or radiation physicist is required to exclude false-positive findings.
