Microbiology 2.0-A "behind the scenes" consideration for artificial intelligence applications for interpretive culture plate reading in routine diagnostic laboratories.
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Laboratory automation with Artificial Intelligence (AI) features have now emerged into routine diagnostic clinical use to interpret growth on agar plates. Applications are currently limited to urine samples and infection control screens, yet some of the details around the development of algorithms remain entrenched with AI development specialists and are not well understood by laboratorians. The generation of algorithms is not a trivial task and is a highly structured process, with several considerations needed to develop the appropriate data for specific intended uses. Understanding these considerations highlights the limitations of any algorithm created and informs better design practices so that algorithm objectives can be thoroughly tested prior to routine use.
