Diagnostic value of artificial intelligence based on computed tomography (CT) density in benign and malignant pulmonary nodules: a retrospective investigation.
Article in PeerJ, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic value of artificial intelligence (AI) in the detection and management of benign and malignant pulmonary nodules (PNs) using computed tomography (CT) density. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 130 individuals diagnosed with PNs based on pathological confirmation. The utilization of AI and physicians has been employed in the diagnostic process of distinguishing benign and malignant PNs. The CT images depicting PNs were integrated into AI-based software. The gold standard for evaluating the accuracy of AI diagnosis software and physician interpretation was the pathological diagnosis. Results: Out of 226 PNs screened from 130 patients diagnosed by AI and physician reading based on CT, 147 were confirmed by pathology. AI had a sensitivity of 94.69% and radiologists had a sensitivity of 85.40% in identifying PNs. The chi-square analysis indicated that the screening capacity of AI was superior to that of physician reading, with statistical significance ( Conclusion: It is anticipated that the use of AI-based CT diagnosis in the detection of PNs would increase the precision in early detection of lung carcinoma, as well as yield more precise evidence for clinical management.
