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

purposeArtificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized medical diagnosis and treatment. Breakthroughs in diagnostic applications make headlines, but AI in department administration (admin AI) likely deserves more attention. With the present study we conducted a systematic review of the literature on clinical impacts of admin AI in radiology.

methodsThree electronic databases were searched for studies published in the last 5 years. Three independent reviewers evaluated the records using a tailored version of the Critical Appraisal Skills Program.

resultsOf the 1486 records retrieved, only six met the inclusion criteria for further analysis, signaling the scarcity of evidence for research into admin AI.

conclusionsDespite the scarcity of studies, current evidence supports our hypothesis that admin AI holds promise for administrative application in radiology departments. Admin AI can directly benefit patient care and treatment outcomes by improving healthcare access and optimizing clinical processes. Furthermore, admin AI can be applied in error-prone administrative processes, allowing medical professionals to spend more time on direct clinical care. The scientific community should broaden its attention to include admin AI, as more real-world data are needed to quantify its benefits. LIMITATIONS: This exploratory study lacks extensive quantitative data backing administrative AI. Further studies are warranted to quantify the impacts.
