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

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the current application of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in the teaching of ultrasound skills as they pertain to gynaecological ultrasound. Methods: A scoping review was performed. Eight databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, EMCARE, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science, IEEE Xplore and ACM digital library) were searched in December 2022 using predefined keywords. All types of publications were eligible for inclusion so long as they reported the use of an AI tool, included reference to or discussion of teaching or the improvement of ultrasound skills and pertained to gynaecological ultrasound. Conference abstracts and non-English language papers which could not be adequately translated into English were excluded. Results: The initial database search returned 481 articles. After screening against our inclusion and exclusion criteria, two were deemed to meet the inclusion criteria. Neither of the articles included reported original research (one systematic review and one review article). Neither of the included articles explicitly provided details of specific tools developed for the teaching of ultrasound skills for gynaecological imaging but highlighted similar applications within the field of obstetrics which could potentially be expanded. Conclusion: Artificial intelligence can potentially assist in the training of sonographers and other ultrasound operators, including in the field of gynaecological ultrasound. This scoping review revealed however that to date, no original research has been published reporting the use or development of such a tool specifically for gynaecological ultrasound.
