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

introductionScreening of lung nodules helps on early diagnosis of lung cancer, especially invasive pulmonary adenocarcinoma. Artificial intelligence (AI) has been applied in diagnosis of cancers. We used the AI-assisted lung nodule diagnostic system in the screening of lung nodules and lung cancer. CASE PRESENTATION: A 66-year-old male complained of coughs and nodules in the right lung of 3-year duration. A ground-glass opacity was found in the right upper lung by routine computed tomography (CT). He had no family history of cancer, genetic diseases, or infectious diseases. AI-assisted analysis found four nodules, of which one was with the risk of malignancy of 88% (LungRads3), one was with the risk of malignancy of 15% (LungRads2), and the other two were smaller in size and considered benign. The patient underwent a thoracoscopic wedge resection of the right upper lung. The intraoperative frozen section pathology report confirmed invasive pulmonary adenocarcinoma, grade II, and primarily of alveolar and adherent types without metastasis.

conclusionIn summary, AI-assisted lung nodule diagnostic system is effective in the screening of lung nodules and the differentiation between benign and malignant.
