Deep learning based volumetric analysis of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms characterized on CTA.
Article in NPJ digital medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Volumetric assessment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) offers precise pre- and post-endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) evaluation but is laborious. The primary aim was to train and validate a network facilitating automated segmentation and volume determination of pre- and post-EVAR infrarenal AAAs displayed on computed tomography angiographies (CTA). Secondary aim was evaluation of workflow acceleration. Model was trained on ground truth segmentations. Internal and external validation was performed. AI-generated volumes of total aneurysm, lumen, and thrombus were correlated with ground truth. Model-enabled efficiency gains and semi-automatic AAA segmentations performed by three surgeons were measured. For total aneurysm, mean Dice similarity coefficient was 0.972 ± 0.013 and 0.960 ± 0.035 in internal and external validation. AI-generated thrombus volumes showed a very strong correlation with ground truth in internal (r = 0.996) and external validation (r = 0.940). Mean algorithm-facilitated time savings of 117.1 seconds (56.0%) were demonstrated for total aneurysm. Our institution-agnostic network enables automated volumetric analysis of AAAs.
