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

Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing healthcare and transforming the clinical practice of physicians across the world. Radiology has a strong affinity for machine learning and is at the forefront of the paradigm shift, as machines compete with humans for cognitive abilities. AI is a computer science simulation of the human mind that utilizes algorithms based on collective human knowledge and the best available evidence to process various forms of inputs and deliver desired outcomes, such as clinical diagnoses and optimal treatment options. Despite the overwhelmingly positive uptake of the technology, warnings have been published about the potential dangers of AI. Concerns have been expressed reflecting opinions that future medicine based on AI will render radiologists irrelevant. Thus, how much of this is based on reality? To answer these questions, it is important to examine the facts, clarify where AI really stands and why many of these speculations are untrue. We aim to debunk the 6 top myths regarding AI in the future of radiologists.
