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

Standardized assessment of the gastroesophageal valve during endoscopy, attainable via the Hill classification, is important for clinical assessment and therapeutic decision making. The Hill classification is associated with the presence of hiatal hernia (HH), a common endoscopic finding connected to gastro-esophageal reflux disease. A novel efficient medical artificial intelligence (AI) training pipeline using active learning (AL) is designed. We identified 21,970 gastroscopic images as training data and used our AL to train a model for predicting the Hill classification and detecting HH. Performance of the AL and traditionally trained models were evaluated on an external expert-annotated image collection. The AL model achieved accuracy of 76%. A traditionally trained model with 125% more training data achieved 77% accuracy. Furthermore, the AL model achieved higher precision than the traditional one for rare classes, with 0.54 versus 0.39 (p < 0.05) for grade 3 and 0.72 versus 0.61 (p < 0.05) for grade 4. In detecting HH, the AL model achieved 94% accuracy, 0.72 precision and 0.74 recall. Our AL pipeline is more efficient than traditional methods in training AI for endoscopy.
