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

This review examines artificial intelligence (AI) applications in ultrasound imaging for carpal tunnel syndrome diagnosis. Deep learning models have achieved Dice coefficients exceeding 0.85 for median nerve segmentation and diagnostic accuracy with area under the curve values up to 0.926, often matching specialist performance. However, methodological limitations exist: only three of 13 included studies (23%) performed external validation, and most used single-center retrospective designs. No prospective clinical trials have demonstrated improved patient outcomes. We critically appraise study quality, discuss current limitations, and provide practical recommendations for clinicians considering AI integration into their practice.
