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

backgroundChronic cardiopulmonary diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, interstitial lung disease, and coronary artery disease, represent a major global health burden. Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) combined with artificial intelligence (AI) quantitative imaging enables the identification of cardiopulmonary imaging abnormalities in asymptomatic individuals.

aimTo evaluate early risk factors for cardiopulmonary imaging abnormalities in asymptomatic middle-aged and elderly population using single-inspiratory phase LDCT combined with AI-based whole-lung quantitative analysis.

methodsA retrospective collection was conducted on 1035 asymptomatic individuals aged ≥ 40 years who underwent routine single-inspiratory-phase LDCT screening at Zhuzhou 331 Hospital in 2025. An AI platform was utilized to automatically extract airway wall area percentage, low-attenuation area percentage, interstitial lung abnormality, and coronary artery calcification score. Based on risk stratification criteria, the population was divided into a high-risk group (

resultsUnivariate analysis showed that smoking history, abnormal metabolic status, body mass index (BMI), age, and gender were significantly associated with cardiopulmonary imaging-defined high-risk status (

conclusionThe LDCT-based nomogram model combined with AI quantitative imaging analysis may assist in identifying individuals with cardiopulmonary imaging abnormalities in asymptomatic screening populations, potentially guiding further diagnostic evaluation. Prospective studies are warranted to establish its role in improving clinical outcomes.
