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

In order to assess the perceptions and expectations of the radiology staff about artificial intelligence (AI), we conducted an online survey among ESR members (January-March 2024). It was designed considering that conducted in 2018, updated according to recent advancements and emerging topics, consisting of seven questions regarding demographics and professional background and 28 AI questions. Of 28,000 members contacted, 572 (2%) completed the survey. AI impact was predominantly expected on breast and oncologic imaging, primarily involving CT, mammography, and MRI, and in the detection of abnormalities in asymptomatic subjects. About half of responders did not foresee an impact of AI on job opportunities. For 273/572 respondents (48%), AI-only reports would not be accepted by patients; and 242/572 respondents (42%) think that the use of AI systems will not change the relationship between the radiological team and the patient. According to 255/572 respondents (45%), radiologists will take responsibility for any AI output that may influence clinical decision-making. Of 572 respondents, 274 (48%) are currently using AI, 153 (27%) are not, and 145 (25%) are planning to do so. In conclusion, ESR members declare familiarity with AI technologies, as well as recognition of their potential benefits and challenges. Compared to the 2018 survey, the perception of AI's impact on job opportunities is in general slightly less optimistic (more positive from AI users/researchers), while the radiologist's responsibility for AI outputs is confirmed. The use of large language models is declared not only limited to research, highlighting the need for education in AI and its regulations. CRITICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT: This study critically evaluates the current impact of AI on radiology, revealing significant usage patterns and clinical implications, thereby guiding future integration strategies to enhance efficiency and patient care in clinical radiology. KEY POINTS: The survey examines ESR member's views about the impact of AI on radiology practice. AI use is relevant in CT and MRI, with varying impacts on job roles. AI tools enhance clinical efficiency but require radiologist oversight for patient acceptance.
