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

purposeIn order to accurately identify the low-concentration M-spikes in serum protein electrophoresis (SPE) patterns, a new artificial intelligence (AI) system is explored.

methods166,003 SPE data sets, which were equally divided into 4 training sets and 1 optimal set, were utilized to establish and evaluate the AI system, namely, "AIRSPE". 10,014 internal test sets and 1861 external test sets with immunofixation electrophoresis (IFE) results as gold standard were used to assess the performance of AIRSPE including sensitivity, negative predictive value, and concordance. In the internal test group with different concentrations of M-spikes, the consistencies of AIRSPE and manual interpretation with IF-positive results were compared.

resultsAIRSPE selected MobileNetv2, which performed with F1-score of 84.60%, precision of 76.20%, recall of 95.20%, loss of 26.80%, accuracy of 89.48%, and interpretation time of 14 ms. In internal test sets, the sensitivity and negative predictive values of AIRSPE were 95.21% and 97.65%, respectively, with no significant difference in performance compared to the external test set (

conclusionsAIRSPE, established through AI deep learning and validated by IFE results, significantly outperforms manual interpretation in detecting low-concentration M-spikes, demonstrating its potential to assist with clinical screening for M-spikes.
