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

purposesTo review the uses of AI for magnetic resonance (MR) imaging assessment of primary pediatric cancer and identify common literature topics and knowledge gaps. To assess the adherence of the existing literature to the Checklist for Artificial Intelligence in Medical Imaging (CLAIM) guidelines. MATERIALS AND

methodsA scoping literature search using MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane databases was performed, including studies of > 10 subjects with a mean age of < 21 years. Relevant data were summarized into three categories based on AI application: detection, characterization, treatment and monitoring. Readers independently scored each study using CLAIM guidelines, and inter-rater reproducibility was assessed using intraclass correlation coefficients.

resultsTwenty-one studies were included. The most common AI application for pediatric cancer MR imaging was pediatric tumor diagnosis and detection (13/21 [62%] studies). The most commonly studied tumor was posterior fossa tumors (14 [67%] studies). Knowledge gaps included a lack of research in AI-driven tumor staging (0/21 [0%] studies), imaging genomics (1/21 [5%] studies), and tumor segmentation (2/21 [10%] studies). Adherence to CLAIM guidelines was moderate in primary studies, with an average (range) of 55% (34%-73%) CLAIM items reported. Adherence has improved over time based on publication year.

conclusionThe literature surrounding AI applications of MR imaging in pediatric cancers is limited. The existing literature shows moderate adherence to CLAIM guidelines, suggesting that better adherence is required for future studies.
