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

Objectives: To develop and validate a deep learning model using multimodal PET/CT imaging for detecting and classifying focal liver lesions (FLL). Methods: This study included 185 patients who underwent Results: This study finally included 150 patients, comprising 46 patients with benign liver nodules, 51 patients with malignant liver nodules, and 53 patients with no FLLs. Significant differences were observed among groups for age, AST, ALP, GGT, AFP, CA19-9and CEA. On the validation set, the Dice coefficient of the model was 0.740. For the normal group, the recall was 0.918, precision was 0.904, F1-score was 0.909, and AUC was 0.976. For the benign group, the recall was 0.869, precision was 0.862, F1-score was 0.863, and AUC was 0.928. For the malignant group, the recall was 0.858, precision was 0.914, F1-score was 0.883, and AUC was 0.979. The model's overall diagnostic performance was between that of junior and senior physician. Conclusion: This deep learning model demonstrated high sensitivity in detecting FLLs and effectively differentiated between benign and malignant lesions.
