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

backgroundRecently, artificial intelligence (AI) with computerized imaging analysis is attracting the attention of clinicians, in particular for its potential applications in improving cancer diagnosis. This review aims to investigate the contribution of radiomics and AI on the radiological preoperative assessment of patients with uterine sarcomas (USs).

methodsOur literature review involved a systematic search conducted in the last ten years about diagnosis, staging and treatments with radiomics and AI in USs. The protocol was drafted according to the systematic review and meta-analysis preferred reporting project (PRISMA-P) and was registered in the PROSPERO database (CRD42021253535).

resultsThe initial search identified 754 articles; of these, six papers responded to the characteristics required for the revision and were included in the final analysis. The predominant technique tested was magnetic resonance imaging. The analyzed studies revealed that even though sometimes complex models included AI-related algorithms, they are still too complex for translation into clinical practice. Furthermore, since these results are extracted by retrospective series and do not include external validations, currently it is hard to predict the chances of their application in different study groups.

conclusionTo date, insufficient evidence supports the benefit of radiomics in USs. Nevertheless, this field is promising but the quality of studies should be a priority in these new technologies.
