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
Background and purpose: Large language model (LLM)-assisted radiology research and tool-development work is hampered by a practical form of memory loss we term cross-interface fragmentation: project context built in a web-based conversational interface is not available in a local coding-agent environment, and neither environment retains state across sessions. This forces researchers to manually reconstruct context at every session start and every interface transition. This technical development describes the design and a single-user, proof-of-concept functional demonstration of a Claude-based persistent-memory system intended to reduce this fragmentation for the software-engineering and research-organization layer of radiology AI projects. The system is not a clinical tool and does not process patient data. Materials and methods: We implemented an end-to-end pipeline integrating a custom web application (Created.app/Supabase), a self-hosted n8n automation server, the Claude API (Anthropic), GitHub version control, and the Obsidian knowledge-management application. A web session is summarized by the Claude API into six structured fields (summary, decisions, pending tasks, artifacts, errors, continuation point) and written as a per-project MEMORY.md file to GitHub; a complementary CLAUDE.md file holds accumulated technical context for the local coding agent. The study design is a single-user, single-operator proof-of-concept engineering validation across three concurrent development projects; no efficacy, usability, or clinical-outcome claim is made. Results: In functional testing, the pipeline transferred project context between the web and local-coding environments without manual copy-paste of session content. A representative 558-token session ( Conclusion: A persistent, cross-interface memory layer for LLM-assisted radiology research workflows is technically feasible with currently available components. As a proof of concept it is explicitly limited: single user, Claude-based, text-only, without quantitative extraction-accuracy benchmarking, and dependent on commercial APIs whose cost scales with use (fixed infrastructure plus variable per-session API cost). We discuss a vendor-neutral, open-weights configuration as the recommended direction for cost- and dependency-sensitive settings such as Latin America, and we report that the system has been used in practice to help organize the development of a separate radiology report quality-control tool.
