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

Despite the efforts of the past decades, cancer is still among the key drivers of global mortality. To increase the detection rates, screening programs and other efforts to improve early detection were initiated to cover the populations at a particular risk for developing a specific malignant condition. These diagnostic approaches have, so far, mostly relied on conventional diagnostic methods and have made little use of the vast amounts of clinical and diagnostic data that are routinely being collected along the diagnostic pathway. Practitioners have lacked the tools to handle this ever-increasing flood of data. Only recently, the clinical field has opened up more for the opportunities that come with the systematic utilisation of high-dimensional computational data analysis. We aim to introduce the reader to the theoretical background of machine learning (ML) and elaborate on the established and potential use cases of ML algorithms in screening and early detection. Furthermore, we assess and comment on the relevant challenges and misconceptions of the applicability of ML-based diagnostic approaches. Lastly, we emphasise the need for a clear regulatory framework to responsibly introduce ML-based diagnostics in clinical practice and routine care.
