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
Purpose: To evaluate the benefits of using a commercially available AI system for breast ultrasonography (US) among readers with varying levels of expertise. Materials and Methods: A total of 285 breast lesions from 141 women who underwent breast US between February 2012 and April 2015 were retrospectively analyzed using a deep-learning-based AI system for lesion detection and diagnosis. Five readers, comprising experienced (two breast radiologists and one breast surgeon) and inexperienced (one gynecologist and one radiology resident) groups, reviewed the grayscale US images in two sessions: without AI assistance (session 1) and with AI assistance after a two-week washout period (session 2). Diagnostic performance was compared between sessions. Results: The mean area under the curve for all readers significantly improved with AI, increasing from 0.885 to 0.927 ( Conclusion: The AI system for breast US significantly enhanced the diagnostic performance of inexperienced readers, augmenting sensitivity, NPV, and accuracy, while experienced readers demonstrated minimal improvement, likely due to their already high baseline performance.
