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/

objectivesTo develop and validate a model system using deep learning algorithms for the automatic detection of type A aortic dissection (AD), and differentiate it from normal and type B AD patients.

methodsIn this retrospective study, a deep learning model is developed, based on aortic computed tomography angiography (CTA) scans of 498 patients using training, validation and test sets of 398, 50 and 50 patients, respectively. An independent test set of 316 patients is used to validate and evaluate its performance.

resultsOur model comprises two components. The first one is an objection detection model, which can identify the aorta from CTA. The second one is a dissection classification model, which can automatically detect the presence of aortic dissection and determine its type based on Stanford classification. Overall, the sensitivity and specificity for Type A AD were 0.969 and 0.982, for Type B AD were 0.946 and 0.996 and for normal cases were 0.988 and 1.000, respectively. The average processing time per CTA scan was 7.9 ± 2.8 s. (mean ± standard deviation).

conclusionsThis deep learning automatic model can accurately and quickly detect type A AD patients, and could serve as an imaging triage in an emergency setting and facilitate early intervention and surgery to decrease the mortality rates of type A AD patients.
