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

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveIn recent decades, artificial intelligence has seen significant development in various fields of medicine, including interventional pulmonology. The study aims to evaluate the diagnostic performance of innovative approaches to detect lung cancer on biopsy sample images (Rapid On-Site Evaluation, ROSE) compared to the diagnostic gold standard.

methodsWe conducted a multicentric study, comparing remote anatomopathological evaluation (E-ROSE) and machine learning algorithms (AI-ROSE) reliability in diagnosing lung cancer, evaluating 277 biopsy sample images, 25 of which were doubtful; to compare them with the definitive histological examination performed by the pathologist.

resultsE-ROSE achieved a diagnostic accuracy of 95.5%, with a sensitivity of 99.0% and specificity of 88.7%, including doubtful cases respectively 91.4%, 97.1%, and 81%. AI-ROSE showed a sensitivity of 96.4% and a specificity of 78.9%, with an accuracy of 92.5%. Including the doubtful cases, the best model achieved an accuracy of 85%, sensitivity of 97.4%, and specificity of 75.4%. The discriminative ability of the tests was compared both for positive/negative cases, showing Area Under ROC Curve (AUC) of 93.9% for E-ROSE and 87.6% for AI-ROSE; while including doubtful, AUC was 89.1% for E-ROSE and 86.4% for AI-ROSE.

conclusionsThe study suggests that the application of innovative methods such as E-ROSE and AI-ROSE could provide valuable support to interventional pulmonologists in the diagnostic process.
