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

purposeThis paper proposes a technological system that uses artificial intelligence to recognize and guide the operator to the exact stenosis area during endoscopic surgery in patients with urethral or ureteral strictures. The aim of this technological solution was to increase surgical efficiency.

methodsThe proposed system utilizes the ResNet-50 algorithm, an artificial intelligence technology, and analyzes images entering the endoscope during surgery to detect the stenosis location accurately and provide intraoperative clinical assistance. The ResNet-50 algorithm was chosen to facilitate accurate detection of the stenosis site.

resultsThe high recognition accuracy of the system was confirmed by an average final sensitivity value of 0.96. Since sensitivity is a measure of the probability of a true-positive test, this finding confirms that the system provided accurate guidance to the stenosis area when used for support in actual surgery.

conclusionThe proposed method supports surgery for patients with urethral or ureteral strictures by applying the ResNet-50 algorithm. The system analyzes images entering the endoscope during surgery and accurately detects stenosis, thereby assisting in surgery. In future research, we intend to provide both conservative and flexible boundaries of the strictures.
