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

Integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into radiology practice can create opportunities to improve diagnostic accuracy, workflow efficiency, and patient outcomes. Integration demands the ability to seamlessly incorporate AI-derived measurements into radiology reports. Common data elements (CDEs) define standardized, interoperable units of information. This article describes the application of CDEs as a standardized framework to embed AI-derived results into radiology reports. The authors defined a set of CDEs for measurements of the volume and attenuation of the liver and spleen. An AI system segmented the liver and spleen on non-contrast CT images of the abdomen and pelvis, and it recorded their measurements as CDEs using the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine Structured Reporting (DICOM-SR) framework to express the corresponding labels and values. The AI system successfully segmented the liver and spleen in non-contrast CT images and generated measurements of organ volume and attenuation. Automated systems extracted corresponding CDE labels and values from the AI-generated data, incorporated CDE values into the radiology report, and transmitted the generated image series to the Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) for storage and display. This study demonstrates the use of radiology CDEs in clinical practice to record and transfer AI-generated data. This approach can improve communication among radiologists and referring providers, harmonize data to enable large-scale research efforts, and enhance the performance of decision support systems. CDEs ensure consistency, interoperability, and clarity in reporting AI findings across diverse healthcare systems.
