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

Objective: To explore the clinical application value of combining circulating tumor cell (CTC) detection with the artificial intelligence imaging software "uAI platform" in predicting the pathological nature of pulmonary nodules (PN). Develop a joint diagnostic system based on the uAI platform and quantitative detection of CTCs, enable simultaneous classification of pulmonary nodules as benign or malignant and assess the degree of infiltration. Methods: A total of 76 patients with pulmonary nodules undergoing surgical treatment were enrolled. Preoperatively, three-dimensional nodule risk stratification (low、medium、high risk) was performed using the uAI platform, and CTC high-throughput detection was conducted. Key indicators were selected through multi-group comparisons (Benign、Malignant、Invasive subgroups) and logistic regression analysis. A multi-dimensional nomogram model was constructed, and its clinical utility was evaluated using ROC curves and clinical decision curves. Results: Comparison between benign and malignant pulmonary nodule groups revealed significant differences in the risk stratification of the uAI platform (proportion of high-risk: 75.61% Conclusion: The combined uAI-CTC model breaks through the limitations of single-dimension diagnosis, enabling risk stratification of malignant pulmonary nodules and quantitative assessment of infiltration, providing evidence-based support for clinical treatment strategies.
