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

Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) is the most effective tools for early detection of lung cancer. With advancements in artificial intelligence, various Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) systems are now supported in clinical practice. For radiologists dealing with a huge volume of CT scans, CAD systems are helpful. However, the development of these systems depends on precisely annotated datasets, which are currently limited. Although several lung imaging datasets exist, there is only few of publicly available datasets with segmentation annotations on LDCT images. To address this problem, we developed a dataset based on NLST LDCT images with pixel-level annotations of lung lesions. The dataset includes LDCT scans from 605 patients and 715 annotated lesions, including 662 lung tumors and 53 lung nodules. Lesion volumes range from 0.03 cm
