Clinical Decision Support and Natural Language Processing in Medicine: Systematic Literature Review.
Synthesis in Journal of medical Internet research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundEnsuring access to accurate and verified information is essential for effective patient treatment and diagnosis. Although health workers rely on the internet for clinical data, there is a need for a more streamlined approach.
objectiveThis systematic review aims to assess the current state of artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing (NLP) techniques in health care to identify their potential use in electronic health records and automated information searches.
methodsA search was conducted in the PubMed, Embase, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Web of Science online databases for articles published between January 2000 and April 2023. The only inclusion criteria were (1) original research articles and studies on the application of AI-based medical clinical decision support using NLP techniques and (2) publications in English. A Critical Appraisal Skills Programme tool was used to assess the quality of the studies.
resultsThe search yielded 707 articles, from which 26 studies were included (24 original articles and 2 systematic reviews). Of the evaluated articles, 21 (81%) explained the use of NLP as a source of data collection, 18 (69%) used electronic health records as a data source, and a further 8 (31%) were based on clinical data. Only 5 (19%) of the articles showed the use of combined strategies for NLP to obtain clinical data. In total, 16 (62%) articles presented stand-alone data review algorithms. Other studies (n=9, 35%) showed that the clinical decision support system alternative was also a way of displaying the information obtained for immediate clinical use.
conclusionsThe use of NLP engines can effectively improve clinical decision systems' accuracy, while biphasic tools combining AI algorithms and human criteria may optimize clinical diagnosis and treatment flows.
