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

Purpose To evaluate the performance of a deep learning algorithm (DLA) for detecting liver metastases (LM) in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) across diverse clinical contexts and compare its accuracy with that of radiologists. Materials and Methods This retrospective, bicentric study included patients with CRC who underwent contrast-enhanced abdominal CT between January 2019 and December 2021. The DLA accuracy was assessed at the per-nodule and per-patient levels and compared with that of a senior (R1) and an in-training (R2) radiologist blinded to each other's results. The LM detection and false detection rates and interreader agreement were determined. Results Among 181 patients with CRC (mean age, 64 years ± 13 [SD]; 102 male), 95 had LM and 86 had no LM. In the per-nodule analysis, the DLA LM detection rate was 81% (227 of 280; 95% CI: 76.1, 85.2), with no difference compared with R1 (79%; 222 of 280; 95% CI: 74.2, 83.6;
