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 The detection and classification of adrenal nodules are crucial for their management. Purpose To develop and test a deep learning model to automatically depict adrenal nodules on abdominal CT images and to simulate triaging performance in combination with human interpretation. Materials and Methods This retrospective study (January 2000-December 2020) used an internal dataset enriched with adrenal nodules for model training and testing and an external dataset reflecting real-world practice for further simulated testing in combination with human interpretation. The deep learning model had a two-stage architecture, a sequential detection and segmentation model, trained separately for the right and left adrenal glands. Model performance was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) for nodule detection and intersection over union for nodule segmentation. Results Of a total of 995 patients in the internal dataset, the AUCs for detecting right and left adrenal nodules in internal test set 1 (
