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
backgroundTo develop a high-efficiency pulmonary nodule computer-aided detection (CAD) method for localization and diameter estimation.
methodsThe developed CAD method centralizes a novel convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithm, You Only Look Once (YOLO) v3, as a deep learning approach. This method is featured by two distinct properties: (I) an automatic multi-scale feature extractor for nodule feature screening, and (II) a feature-based bounding box generator for nodule localization and diameter estimation. Two independent studies were performed to train and evaluate this CAD method. One study comprised of a computer simulation that utilized computer-based ground truth. In this study, 300 CT scans were simulated by Cardiac-torso (XCAT) digital phantom. Spherical nodules of various sizes (i.e., 3-10 mm in diameter) were randomly implanted within the lung region of the simulated images-the second study utilized human-based ground truth in patients. The CAD method was developed by CT scans sourced from the LIDC-IDRI database. CT scans with slice thickness above 2.5 mm were excluded, leaving 888 CT images for analysis. A 10-fold cross-validation procedure was implemented in both studies to evaluate network hyper-parameterization and generalization. The overall accuracy of the CAD method was evaluated by the detection sensitivities, in response to average false positives (FPs) per image. In the patient study, the detection accuracy was further compared against 9 recently published CAD studies using free-receiver response operating characteristic (FROC) curve analysis. Localization and diameter estimation accuracies were quantified by the mean and standard error between the predicted value and ground truth.
resultsThe average results among the 10 cross-validation folds in both studies demonstrated the CAD method achieved high detection accuracy. The sensitivity was 99.3% (FPs =1), and improved to 100% (FPs =4) in the simulation study. The corresponding sensitivities were 90.0% and 95.4% in the patient study, displaying superiority over several conventional and CNN-based lung nodule CAD methods in the FROC curve analysis. Nodule localization and diameter estimation errors were less than 1 mm in both studies. The developed CAD method achieved high computational efficiency: it yields nodule-specific quantitative values (i.e., number, existence confidence, central coordinates, and diameter) within 0.1 s for 2D CT slice inputs.
conclusionsThe reported results suggest that the developed lung pulmonary nodule CAD method possesses high accuracies of nodule localization and diameter estimation. The high computational efficiency enables its potential clinical application in the future.
