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

objectiveThis study aimed to develop an Artificial intelligence (AI) model based on Mask2Former to identify safe and hazard zones during Single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC).

methods186 videos of SILC were included in the study, among which, 127 videos were used for training and the other 59 videos were used for testing the AI models. The model's performance was evaluated using Intersection over Union (IOU), Dice Score, F1 Score, Accuracy, Sensitivity, and Positive Predictive Value (PPV).

resultsA total of 186 videos with 9521 frames performed by two surgeons from two institutions were annotated simultaneously by an expert panel of 3 surgeons. The model achieved a high level of F1 score (0.966), IOU (0.805), Sensitivity (0.968) and PPV (0.942) for safe zones. For hazard zones, the model exhibited an exceptionally high Sensitivity (0.970), while the pixel-level overlap metrics for hazard zones (Dice = 0.825, IOU = 0.770) were lower than the object-level F1 score (0.923).

conclusionsThe proposed model could be used to identify safe and hazard zones of dissection during SILC, with high sensitivity and PPV for safe zones and high sensitivity for hazard zones. This technology might eventually be used to provide real-time guidance intraoperatively to minimize the risk of major bile duct injury during SILC.
