Review in Quantitative imaging in medicine and surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 34 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

This paper offers a brief overview of common non-invasive techniques for body composition assessment methods, and of the way images extracted by these methods can be processed with artificial intelligence (AI) and radiomic analysis. These new techniques are becoming more and more appealing in the field of health care, thanks to their ability to treat and process a huge amount of data, suggest new correlations between extracted imaging biomarkers and traits of several diseases as well as lead to the possibility to realise an increasingly personalized medicine. The idea is to suggest the use of AI applications and radiomic analysis to search for features that may be extracted from medical images [computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)], and that may turn out to be good predictors of metabolic disorder diseases and cancer. This could lead to patient-specific treatments and management of several diseases linked with excessive body fat.
