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

The purpose of this work was to assess the performance of a convolutional neural network (CNN) for automatic thoracic aortic measurements in a heterogeneous population. From June 2018 to May 2019, this study retrospectively analyzed 250 chest CT scans with or without contrast enhancement and electrocardiographic gating from a heterogeneous population with or without aortic pathologic findings. Aortic diameters at nine locations and maximum aortic diameter were measured manually and with an algorithm (Artificial Intelligence Rad Companion Chest CT prototype, Siemens Healthineers) by using a CNN. A total of 233 examinations performed with 15 scanners from three vendors in 233 patients (median age, 65 years [IQR, 54-72 years]; 144 men) were analyzed: 68 (29%) without pathologic findings, 72 (31%) with aneurysm, 51 (22%) with dissection, and 42 (18%) with repair. No evidence of a difference was observed in maximum aortic diameter between manual and automatic measurements (
