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

purposeThis study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of combining transvaginal ultrasound (US)-based radiomics and deep learning model for the accurate differentiation between benign and malignant ovarian tumors in large-scale studies. MATERIALS AND

methodsA multicenter retrospective study collected grayscale and color US images of ovarian tumors. Patients were divided into training, internal, and external validation groups. Models including a convolutional neural networks (CNN), optimal radiomics, and a combined model were constructed and evaluated for predictive performance using area under curve (AUC), sensitivity, and specificity. The DeLong test compared model AUCs with O-RADS and expert assessments.

results3193 images from 2078 patients were analyzed. The CNN achieved AUCs of 0.970 (internal) and 0.959 (external), respectively. Optimal radiomic model achieved AUCs of 0.949 (internal) and 0.954 (external), respectively. The combined CNN-radiomics model attained the highest AUC of 0.977 (internal) and 0.972 (external), respectively, outperforming individual models, O-RADS, and expert methods (p < 0.05).

conclusionsThe combined CNN-radiomics model using transvaginal US images provides more accurate and reliable ovarian tumor diagnosis, enhancing malignancy prediction and offering clinicians a more precise diagnostic tool.
