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

Lung ultrasound (LUS) vertical artifacts are critical sonographic markers commonly used in evaluating pulmonary conditions such as pulmonary edema, interstitial lung disease, pneumonia, and COVID-19. Accurate detection and localization of these artifacts are vital for informed clinical decision-making. However, interpreting LUS images remains highly operator-dependent, leading to variability in diagnosis. While deep learning (DL) models offer promising potential to automate LUS interpretation, their development is limited by the scarcity of annotated datasets specifically focused on vertical artifacts. This study introduces a curated dataset of 401 high-resolution LUS images, each annotated with polygonal bounding boxes to indicate vertical artifact locations. The images were collected from 152 patients with pulmonary conditions at Mulago and Kiruddu National Referral Hospitals in Uganda. This dataset serves as a valuable resource for training and evaluating DL models designed to accurately detect and localize LUS vertical artifacts, contributing to the advancement of AI-driven diagnostic tools for early detection and monitoring of respiratory diseases.
