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

purposeWe aimed to systematically review the studies that utilized deep learning (DL)-based networks to predict hematoma expansion (HE) in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) using computed tomography (CT) images.

methodsWe carried out a comprehensive literature search across four major databases to identify relevant studies. To evaluate the quality of the included studies, we used both the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 (QUADAS-2) and the METhodological RadiomICs Score (METRICS) checklists. We then calculated pooled diagnostic estimates and assessed heterogeneity using the I

resultsTwenty-two studies were included in the qualitative synthesis, of which 11 and 6 were utilized for exclusive DL and combined DL meta-analyses, respectively. We found pooled sensitivity of 0.81 and 0.84, specificity of 0.79 and 0.91, positive diagnostic likelihood ratio (DLR) of 3.96 and 9.40, negative DLR of 0.23 and 0.18, diagnostic odds ratio of 16.97 and 53.51, and area under the curve of 0.87 and 0.89 for exclusive DL-based and combined DL-based models, respectively. Subgroup analysis revealed significant inter-group differences according to the segmentation technique and study quality.

conclusionDL-based networks showed strong potential in accurately identifying HE in ICH patients. These models may guide earlier targeted interventions such as intensive blood pressure control or administration of hemostatic drugs, potentially leading to improved patient outcomes.
