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.

Abstract

backgroundEndoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is useful for the differential diagnosis of subepithelial lesions (SELs); however, not all of them are easy to distinguish. Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the commonest SELs, are considered potentially malignant, and differentiating them from benign SELs is important. Artificial intelligence (AI) using deep learning has developed remarkably in the medical field. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of an AI system for classifying SELs on EUS images.

methodsEUS images of pathologically confirmed upper gastrointestinal SELs (GIST, leiomyoma, schwannoma, neuroendocrine tumor [NET], and ectopic pancreas) were collected from 12 hospitals. These images were divided into development and test datasets in the ratio of 4:1 using random sampling; the development dataset was divided into training and validation datasets. The same test dataset was diagnosed by two experts and two non-experts.

resultsA total of 16,110 images were collected from 631 cases for the development and test datasets. The accuracy of the AI system for the five-category classification (GIST, leiomyoma, schwannoma, NET, and ectopic pancreas) was 86.1%, which was significantly higher than that of all endoscopists. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the AI system for differentiating GISTs from non-GISTs were 98.8%, 67.6%, and 89.3%, respectively. Its sensitivity and accuracy were significantly higher than those of all the endoscopists.

conclusionThe AI system, classifying SELs, showed higher diagnostic performance than that of the experts and may assist in improving the diagnosis of SELs in clinical practice.
