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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesAcute aortic dissection (AD) is a life-threatening condition in which early detection can significantly improve patient outcomes and survival. This study evaluates the clinical benefits of integrating a deep learning (DL)-based application for the automated detection and prioritization of AD on chest CT angiographies (CTAs) with a focus on the reduction in the scan-to-assessment time (STAT) and interpretation time (IT). MATERIALS AND

methodsThis retrospective Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) study compared AD detection with and without artificial intelligence (AI) assistance. The ground truth was established by two U.S. board-certified radiologists, while three additional expert radiologists served as readers. Each reader assessed the same CTAs in two phases: assessment unaided by AI assistance (pre-AI arm) and, after a 1-month washout period, assessment aided by device outputs (post-AI arm). STAT and IT metrics were compared between the two arms.

resultsThis study included 285 CTAs (95 per reader, per arm) with a mean patient age of 58.5 years ±14.7 (SD), of which 52% were male and 37% had a prevalence of AD. AI assistance significantly reduced the STAT for detecting 33 true positive AD cases from 15.84 min (95% CI: 13.37-18.31 min) without AI to 5.07 min (95% CI: 4.23-5.91 min) with AI, representing a 68% reduction (

conclusionsThe integration of a DL-based algorithm for AD detection on chest CTAs significantly reduces both the STAT and IT. By prioritizing urgent cases, the AI-assisted approach outperforms the standard First-In, First-Out (FIFO) workflow.
