Undetected Lung Cancer at Posteroanterior Chest Radiography: Potential Role of a Deep Learning-based Detection Algorithm.
Article in Radiology. Cardiothoracic imaging, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05489471 (A Prospective Study to Assess the Impact of an Artificial Intelligence System on Reporting of Chest X-rays, Evaluate the Ability of AI Driven Worklists to Improve Reporting Times and Improve Same Day CT Pathway for Suspected Lung Cancer), which is not on this map. Cited by 20 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
purposeTo evaluate the performance of a deep learning-based algorithm in detecting lung cancers not reported on posteroanterior chest radiographs during routine practice. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe retrospective test dataset included 168 posteroanterior chest radiographs acquired between March 2017 and December 2018 (168 patients; mean age, 71.9 years ± 9.5 [standard deviation]; age range, 42-91 years) with 187 lung cancers (mean size, 2.3 cm ± 1.2) undetected during initial clinical evaluation, and 50 normal chest radiographs. CT served as the reference standard for ground truth. Four thoracic radiologists independently reevaluated the chest radiographs for lung nodules both without and with the aid of the algorithm. The performances of the algorithm and the radiologists were evaluated and compared on a per-chest radiograph basis and a per-lesion basis, according to the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) and area under the jackknife free-response ROC curve (AUFROC).
resultsThe algorithm showed excellent diagnostic performances both in terms of per-chest radiograph classification (AUROC, 0.899) and per-lesion localization (AUFROC, 0.744); both of these values were significantly higher than those of the radiologists (AUROC, 0.634-0.663; AUFROC, 0.619-0.651;
conclusionA deep learning-based nodule detection algorithm showed excellent detection performance of lung cancers that were not reported on chest radiographs during routine practice and significantly reduced reading errors when used as a second reader.
