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

Background: A dynamic artificial intelligence (AI) ultrasonic intelligent assistant diagnosis system (dynamic AI) is a joint application of AI technology and medical imaging, which can conduct real-time synchronous dynamic analysis of nodules from multiple sectional views with different angles. This study explored the diagnostic value of dynamic AI for benign and malignant thyroid nodules in patients with Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT) and its significance in guiding surgical treatment strategies. Methods: Data of 487 patients (154 with and 333 without HT) with 829 thyroid nodules who underwent surgery were collected. Differentiation of benign and malignant nodules was performed using dynamic AI, and diagnostic effects (specificity, sensitivity, negative predictive value, positive predictive value, accuracy, misdiagnosis rate and missed diagnosis rate) was assessed. Differences in diagnostic efficacy were compared among AI, preoperative ultrasound based on the American College of Radiology (ACR) Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (TI-RADS), and fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) diagnoses. Results: The accuracy, specificity and sensitivity of dynamic AI reached 88.06%, 80.19%, and 90.68%, respectively; besides, there was consistency with postoperative pathological consequences (κ=0.690; P<0.001). The diagnostic efficacy of dynamic AI was equivalent between patients with and without HT, and there were no significant differences in sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, missed diagnosis rate, and misdiagnosis rate. In patients with HT, dynamic AI had significantly higher specificity and a lower misdiagnosis rate than did preoperative ultrasound based on the ACR TI-RADS (P<0.05). Compared with FNAC diagnosis, dynamic AI had a significantly higher sensitivity and a lower missed diagnosis rate (P<0.05). Conclusions: Dynamic AI possessed an elevated diagnostic worth of malignant and benign thyroid nodules in patients with HT, which can provide a new method and valuable information for the diagnosis and development of management strategy of patients.
