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

Machine learning, a subfield of artificial intelligence, is a rapidly evolving technology that offers great potential for expanding the quality and value of pediatric radiology. We describe specific types of learning, including supervised, unsupervised and semisupervised. Subsequently, we illustrate two core concepts for the reader: data partitioning and under/overfitting. We also provide an expanded discussion of the challenges of implementing machine learning in children's imaging. These include the requirement for very large data sets, the need to accurately label these images with a relatively small number of pediatric imagers, technical and regulatory hurdles, as well as the opaque character of convolution neural networks. We review machine learning cases in radiology including detection, classification and segmentation. Last, three pediatric radiologists from the Society for Pediatric Radiology Quality and Safety Committee share perspectives for potential areas of development.
