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 review outlines the current status and challenges of the clinical applications of artificial intelligence in liver imaging using computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging based on a topic analysis of PubMed search results using latent Dirichlet allocation. LDA revealed that "segmentation," "hepatocellular carcinoma and radiomics," "metastasis," "fibrosis," and "reconstruction" were current main topic keywords. Automatic liver segmentation technology using deep learning is beginning to assume new clinical significance as part of whole-body composition analysis. It has also been applied to the screening of large populations and the acquisition of training data for machine learning models and has resulted in the development of imaging biomarkers that have a significant impact on important clinical issues, such as the estimation of liver fibrosis, recurrence, and prognosis of malignant tumors. Deep learning reconstruction is expanding as a new technological clinical application of artificial intelligence and has shown results in reducing contrast and radiation doses. However, there is much missing evidence, such as external validation of machine learning models and the evaluation of the diagnostic performance of specific diseases using deep learning reconstruction, suggesting that the clinical application of these technologies is still in development.
