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

Objectives: To explore an intelligent detection technology based on deep learning algorithms to assist the clinical diagnosis of distal radius fractures (DRFs), and further compare it with human performance to verify the feasibility of this method. Methods: A total of 3,240 patients (fracture: Results: The deep learning ensemble model had excellent accuracy (97.03%), sensitivity (95.70%), and specificity (98.37%) in detecting DRFs. Among them, the accuracy of the AP view was 97.75%, the sensitivity 97.13%, and the specificity 98.37%; the accuracy of the lateral view was 96.32%, the sensitivity 94.26%, and the specificity 98.37%. When the wrist joint is counted, the accuracy was 97.55%, the sensitivity 98.36%, and the specificity 96.73%. In terms of these variables, the performance of the ensemble model is superior to that of both the orthopedic attending physician group and the radiology attending physician group. Conclusion: This deep learning ensemble model has excellent performance in detecting DRFs on plain X-ray films. Using this artificial intelligence model as a second expert to assist clinical diagnosis is expected to improve the accuracy of diagnosing DRFs and enhance clinical work efficiency.
