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

To reduce the number of missed or misdiagnosed lung nodules on CT scans by radiologists, many Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms have been developed. Some algorithms are currently being implemented in clinical practice, but the question is whether radiologists and patients really benefit from the use of these novel tools. This study aimed to review how AI assistance for lung nodule assessment on CT scans affects the performances of radiologists. We searched for studies that evaluated radiologists' performances in the detection or malignancy prediction of lung nodules with and without AI assistance. Concerning detection, radiologists achieved with AI assistance a higher sensitivity and AUC, while the specificity was slightly lower. Concerning malignancy prediction, radiologists achieved with AI assistance generally a higher sensitivity, specificity and AUC. The radiologists' workflows of using the AI assistance were often only described in limited detail in the papers. As recent studies showed improved performances of radiologists with AI assistance, AI assistance for lung nodule assessment holds great promise. To achieve added value of AI tools for lung nodule assessment in clinical practice, more research is required on the clinical validation of AI tools, impact on follow-up recommendations and ways of using AI tools.
