A deep learning-based automatic analysis of cardiovascular borders on chest radiographs of valvular heart disease: development/external validation.
Article in European radiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectivesCardiovascular border (CB) analysis is the primary method for detecting and quantifying the severity of cardiovascular disease using posterior-anterior chest radiographs (CXRs). This study aimed to develop and validate a deep learning-based automatic CXR CB analysis algorithm (CB_auto) for diagnosing and quantitatively evaluating valvular heart disease (VHD).
methodsWe developed CB_auto using 816 normal and 798 VHD CXRs. For validation, 640 normal and 542 VHD CXRs from three different hospitals and 132 CXRs from a public dataset were assigned. The reliability of the CB parameters determined by CB_auto was evaluated. To evaluate the differences between parameters determined by CB_auto and manual CB drawing (CB_hand), the absolute percentage measurement error (APE) was calculated. Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated between CB_hand and echocardiographic measurements.
resultsCB parameters determined by CB_auto yielded excellent reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient > 0.98). The 95% limits of agreement for the cardiothoracic ratio were 0.00 ± 0.04% without systemic bias. The differences between parameters determined by CB_auto and CB_hand as defined by the APE were < 10% for all parameters except for carinal angle and left atrial appendage. In the public dataset, all CB parameters were successfully drawn in 124 of 132 CXRs (93.9%). All CB parameters were significantly greater in VHD than in normal controls (all p < 0.05). All CB parameters showed significant correlations (p < 0.05) with echocardiographic measurements.
conclusionsThe CB_auto system empowered by deep learning algorithm provided highly reliable CB measurements that could be useful not only in daily clinical practice but also for research purposes. KEY POINTS: • A deep learning-based automatic CB analysis algorithm for diagnosing and quantitatively evaluating VHD using posterior-anterior chest radiographs was developed and validated. • Our algorithm (CB_auto) yielded comparable reliability to manual CB drawing (CB_hand) in terms of various CB measurement variables, as confirmed by external validation with datasets from three different hospitals and a public dataset. • All CB parameters were significantly different between VHD and normal control measurements, and echocardiographic measurements were significantly correlated with CB parameters measured from normal control and VHD CXRs.
