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

objectivesThe study aimed to develop a combined model that integrates deep learning (DL), radiomics, and clinical data to classify lung nodules into benign or malignant categories, and to further classify lung nodules into different pathological subtypes and Lung Imaging Reporting and Data System (Lung-RADS) scores. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe proposed model was trained, validated, and tested using three datasets: one public dataset, the Lung Nodule Analysis 2016 (LUNA16) Grand challenge dataset (n = 1004), and two private datasets, the Lung Nodule Received Operation (LNOP) dataset (n = 1027) and the Lung Nodule in Health Examination (LNHE) dataset (n = 1525). The proposed model used a stacked ensemble model by employing a machine learning (ML) approach with an AutoGluon-Tabular classifier. The input variables were modified 3D convolutional neural network (CNN) features, radiomics features, and clinical features. Three classification tasks were performed: Task 1: Classification of lung nodules into benign or malignant in the LUNA16 dataset; Task 2: Classification of lung nodules into different pathological subtypes; and Task 3: Classification of Lung-RADS score. Classification performance was determined based on accuracy, recall, precision, and F1-score. Ten-fold cross-validation was applied to each task.

resultsThe proposed model achieved high accuracy in classifying lung nodules into benign or malignant categories in LUNA 16 with an accuracy of 92.8%, as well as in classifying lung nodules into different pathological subtypes with an F1-score of 75.5% and Lung-RADS scores with an F1-score of 80.4%.

conclusionOur proposed model provides an accurate classification of lung nodules based on the benign/malignant, different pathological subtypes, and Lung-RADS system.
