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

backgroundCoronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is essential for diagnosing coronary artery disease as it provides detailed images of the heart's blood vessels to identify blockages or abnormalities. Traditionally, determining the computed tomography (CT) scanning range has relied on manual methods due to limited automation in this area.

aimTo develop and evaluate a novel deep learning approach to automate the determination of CCTA scan ranges using anteroposterior scout images.

methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on chest CT data from 1388 patients at the Radiology Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of a university-affiliated hospital, collected between February 27 and March 27, 2024. A deep learning model was trained on anteroposterior scout images with annotations based on CCTA standards. The dataset was split into training (672 cases), validation (167 cases), and test (167 cases) sets to ensure robust model evaluation.

resultsThe study demonstrated exceptional performance on the test set, achieving a mean average precision (mAP50) of 0.995 and mAP50-95 of 0.994 for determining CCTA scan ranges.

conclusionThis study demonstrates that: (1) Anteroposterior scout images can effectively estimate CCTA scan ranges; and (2) Estimates can be dynamically adjusted to meet the needs of various medical institutions.
