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

Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a parasitic disease caused by Echinococcus multilocularis, where early detection is crucial for effective treatment. This study introduces a novel method for the early diagnosis of liver diseases by differentiating between tumor, AE, and healthy cases using non-contrast CT images, which are widely accessible and eliminate the risks associated with contrast agents. The proposed approach integrates an automatic liver region detection method based on RCNN followed by a CNN-based classification framework. A dataset comprising over 27,000 thorax-abdominal images from 233 patients, including 8206 images with liver tissue, was constructed and used to evaluate the proposed method. The experimental results demonstrate the importance of the two-stage classification approach. In a 2-class classification problem for healthy and non-healthy classes, an accuracy rate of 0.936 (95% CI: 0.925
