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

From genome-scale experimental studies to imaging data, behavioral footprints, and longitudinal healthcare records, the convergence of big data in cancer research and the advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) is paving the way to develop a systems view of cancer. Nevertheless, this biomedical area is largely characterized by the co-existence of big data and small data resources, highlighting the need for a deeper investigation about the crosstalk between different levels of data granularity, including varied sample sizes, labels, data types, and other data descriptors. This review introduces the current challenges, limitations, and solutions of AI in the heterogeneous landscape of data granularity in cancer research. Such a variety of cancer molecular and clinical data calls for advancing the interoperability among AI approaches, with particular emphasis on the synergy between discriminative and generative models that we discuss in this work with several examples of techniques and applications.
