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

objectivesThis study aims to evaluate the overall impact of incorporating deep learning (DL) with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for improving diagnostic performance in the detection and stratification of prostate cancer (PC).

methodsA systematic search was conducted in the PubMed database to identify relevant studies. The QUADAS-2 tool was employed to assess the scientific quality, risk of bias, and applicability of primary diagnostic accuracy studies. Additionally, adherence to the Checklist for Artificial Intelligence in Medical Imaging (CLAIM) guidelines was evaluated to determine the extent of heterogeneity among the included studies. The systematic review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines.

resultsA total of 29 articles involving 17,954 participants were included in the study. The median agreement to the 42 CLAIM checklist items across studies was 61.90% (IQR: 57.14-66.67, range: 40.48-80.95). Most studies utilized T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) and/or apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) derived from diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) as input for evaluating the performance of DL-based architectures. Notably, the detection and stratification of PC in the transition zone was the least explored area.

conclusionsDL demonstrates significant advancements in the rapid, sensitive, specific, and robust detection and stratification of PC. Promising applications include enhancing the quality of DWI, developing advanced DL models, and designing innovative nomograms or diagnostic tools to improve clinical decision-making.
