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

Treatment of severely injured patients is challenging, and timely reading of whole-body computed tomography (WBCT) images therefore crucial. Artificial intelligence is increasingly used to prioritize and detect acute injuries in this context. Algorithms focusing on the cervical spine and compression fractures have been deployed successfully. However, tools for whole spine assessment and the entirety of fracture morphologies are lacking. We aimed to investigate the capabilities of an algorithm to detect spine fractures on WBCTs and factors contributing to the difficulties in its development. A version 1.0 (v1) of the algorithm was previously trained with 454 cervical spine fractures using a U-Net via four-fold cross-validation to segment spine fractures and the spine via a multi-task loss. Further training expanded towards whole spine assessment with additional annotated fractures (Cohort 1) of the cervical (
