Lung nodule localization and size estimation on chest tomosynthesis.
Article in Journal of medical imaging (Bellingham, Wash.), 2025. 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
Purpose: We aim to investigate the localization, visibility, and measurement of lung nodules in digital chest tomosynthesis (DTS). Approach: Computed tomography (CT), maximum intensity projections (CT-MIP) (transaxial versus coronal orientation), and computer-aided detection (CAD) were used as location reference, and inter- and intra-observer agreement regarding lung nodule size was assessed. Five radiologists analyzed DTS and CT images from 24 participants with lung Results: The majority of the lung nodules (79%) were rated as visible in DTS, although less clearly in comparison with CT. Coronal CT-MIP was the preferred orientation in the task of locating nodules on DTS. On DTS, area-based lung nodule size estimates resulted in significantly less measurement variability when compared with nodule size estimated based on mean diameter (mD) ( Conclusions: Coronal CT-MIP images are superior to transaxial CT-MIP images in facilitating lung nodule localization in DTS.
