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
Introduction: Supine chest radiography is routinely used in trauma care; however, its sensitivity is limited in pneumothorax detection. Although artificial intelligence (AI) has recently been introduced as a diagnostic support tool for chest radiograph interpretation, its use in trauma radiographs and its interaction with physician experience remain unclear. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of AI-assisted image interpretation in traumatic pneumothorax detection among emergency medicine specialists and non-specialists. Methods: In this retrospective single-center study, 34 supine chest radiographs (17 pneumothorax and 17 non-pneumothorax cases confirmed with computed tomography) were interpreted by 20 emergency medicine physicians (10 specialists and 10 non-specialists). Each participant reviewed all radiographs twice: first without AI assistance and then with AI assistance after a 2-week washout period. Sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and precision were calculated. To account for clustering of observations within readers and cases, mixed-effects logistic regression analysis was performed. Results: AI assistance significantly improved sensitivity and diagnostic accuracy across participants, whereas specificity and precision were not significantly affected. Specialists demonstrated higher baseline sensitivity and accuracy than non-specialists. In the mixed-effects logistic regression analysis, AI assistance was independently associated with improved diagnostic accuracy (odds ratio 2.37, Conclusion: AI-assisted interpretation of supine chest radiographs is a potentially useful decision-support tool for detecting traumatic pneumothorax in emergency settings.
