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

backgroundThe potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to predict the nature of part-solid nodules based on chest computed tomography (CT) is still under exploration.

objectiveTo determine the potential of AI to predict the nature of part-solid nodules.

methodsTwo hundred twenty-three patients diagnosed with part-solid nodules (241) by chest CT were retrospectively collected that were divided into benign group (104) and malignant group (137). Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to assess the agreement in predicting malignancy, and the predictive effectiveness was compared between AI and senior radiologists. The parameters measured by AI and the size of solid components measured by senior radiologists were compared between two groups. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was chosen for calculating the Youden index of each quantitative parameter, which has statistical significance between two groups. Binary logistic regression performed on the significant indicators to suggest predictors of malignancy.

resultsAI was in moderate agreement with senior radiologists (ICC = 0.686). The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of two groups were close (p > 0.05). The longest diameter, volume and mean CT attenuation value and the largest diameter of solid components between benign and malignant groups were different significantly (p < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that the longest diameter and mean CT attenuation value and the largest diameter of solid components were indicators for malignant part-solid nodules, the threshold of which were 9.45 mm, 425.0 HU and 3.45 mm, respectively.

conclusionPotential of quantitative parameter measured by AI to predict malignant part-solid nodules can provide a certain value for the clinical management.
