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

The study aimed to evaluate the impact of AI assistance on pulmonary nodule detection rates among radiology residents and senior radiologists, along with assessing the effectiveness of two different commercialy available AI software systems in improving detection rates and LungRADS classification in chest CT. The study cohort included 198 participants with 221 pulmonary nodules. Residents' mean detection rate increased significantly from 64 to 77% with AI assist, while seniors' detection rate remained largely unchanged (85% vs. 86%). Residents showed significant improvement in segmental nodule localization with AI assistance, seniors did not. Software 2 slightly outperformed software 1 in increasing detection rates (67-77% vs. 80-86%), but neither significantly affected LungRADS classification. The study suggests that clinical experience mitigates the need for additional AI software, with the combination of CAD with residents being the most beneficial approach. Both software systems performed similarly, with software 2 showing a slightly higher but non-significant increase in detection rates.
