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: This study aimed to explore the value of an artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted diagnostic system in the prediction of pulmonary nodules. Methods: The AI system was able to make predictions of benign or malignant nodules. 260 cases of solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs) were divided into 173 malignant cases and 87 benign cases based on the surgical pathological diagnosis. A stratified data analysis was applied to compare the diagnostic effectiveness of the AI system to distinguish between the subgroups with different clinical characteristics. Results: The accuracy of AI system in judging benignity and malignancy of the nodules was 75.77% ( Conclusion: The AI system can be applied to assist in the prediction of benign and malignant pulmonary nodules. It can provide a valuable reference, especially for the diagnosis of subsolid nodules and small nodules measuring 5-10 mm in diameter.
