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

objectiveTo summarize the current evidence regarding the applications, workflow, and limitations of artificial intelligence (AI) in the management of patients pathologically-diagnosed with lung cancer.

backgroundLung cancer is one of the most common cancers and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. AI technologies have been applied to daily medical workflow and have achieved an excellent performance in predicting histopathologic subtypes, analyzing gene mutation profiles, and assisting in clinical decision-making for lung cancer treatment. More advanced deep learning for classifying pathologic images with minimal human interactions has been developed in addition to the conventional machine learning scheme.

methodsStudies were identified by searching databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library, up to February 2021 without language restrictions.

conclusionsA number of studies have evaluated AI pipelines and confirmed that AI is robust and efficacious in lung cancer diagnosis and decision-making, demonstrating that AI models are a useful tool for assisting oncologists in health management. Although several limitations that pose an obstacle for the widespread use of AI schemes persist, the unceasing refinement of AI techniques is poised to overcome such problems. Thus, AI technology is a promising tool for use in diagnosing and managing lung cancer.
