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

introductionPost-stroke epilepsy (PSE) is a common complication following a stroke and is a major cause of epilepsy in the elderly. Artificial intelligence (AI) is currently developing rapidly in the medical field and has a promising outlook in disease diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis.

methodsWe screened five studies that fully met the requirements from the PubMed, Web of Science, and EMBASE databases using relevant search terms such as PSE and AI, and analyzed the role of AI in predicting and diagnosing PSE in these studies.

resultsThe results showed that the sensitivity of AI in predicting and diagnosing PSE was 88% (95% CI 0.78-0.94), and the specificity was 83% (95% CI 0.79-0.86). The area under the summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curve was 0.90 (95% CI 0.87-0.92).

conclusionThese results indicate that using AI to predict and assist in diagnosing PSE demonstrates high specificity and sensitivity, and has certain prospects in the future auxiliary diagnosis of PSE.
