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

The role of machine learning (a part of artificial intelligence-AI) in the diagnosis and treatment of various types of oncology is steadily increasing. It is expected that the use of AI in oncology will speed up both diagnostic and treatment planning processes. This review describes recent applications of machine learning in oncology, including medical image analysis, treatment planning, patient survival prognosis, and the synthesis of drugs at the point of care. The fast and reliable analysis of medical images is of great importance in the case of fast-flowing forms of cancer. The introduction of ML for the analysis of constantly growing volumes of big data makes it possible to improve the quality of prescribed treatment and patient care. Thus, ML is expected to become an essential technology for medical specialists. The ML model has already improved prognostic prediction for patients compared to traditional staging algorithms. The direct synthesis of the necessary medical substances (small molecule mixtures) at the point of care could also seriously benefit from the application of ML. We further review the main trends in the use of artificial intelligence-based technologies in modern oncology. This review demonstrates the future prospects of using ML tools to make progress in cancer research, as well as in other areas of medicine. Despite growing interest in the use of modern computer technologies in medical practice, a number of unresolved ethical and legal problems remain. In this review, we also discuss the most relevant issues among them.
