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

purposeIn this paper, we propose an optimal ureter stone detection model utilizing multiple artificial intelligence technologies. Specifically, the proposed model of urinary tract stone detection merges an artificial intelligence model and an image processing model, resulting in a multimethod approach.

methodsWe propose an optimal urinary tract stone detection algorithm based on artificial intelligence technology. This method was intended to increase the accuracy of urinary tract stone detection by combining deep learning technology (Fast R-CNN) and image processing technology (Watershed).

resultsAs a result of deriving the confusion matrix, the sensitivity and specificity of urinary tract stone detection were calculated to be 0.90 and 0.91, and the accuracy for their position was 0.84. This value was higher than 0.8, which is the standard for accuracy. This finding confirmed that accurate guidance to the stones area was possible when the developed platform was used to support actual surgery.

conclusionThe performance evaluation of the method proposed herein indicated that it can effectively play an auxiliary role in diagnostic decision-making with a clinically acceptable range of safety. In particular, in the case of ambush stones or urinary stones accompanying ureter polyps, the value that could be obtained through combination therapy based on diagnostic assistance could be evaluated.
