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 of reviewThis opinion paper highlights the advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) technology for cardiovascular disease (CVD), presents best practices and transformative impacts, and addresses current concerns that must be resolved for broader adoption. RECENT

findingsWith the evolution of digitization in data collection, large amounts of data have become available, surpassing the human capacity for processing and analysis, thus enabling the application of AI. These models can learn complex spatial and temporal patterns from large amounts of data, providing patient-specific outputs. These advantages have resulted, at the moment, in more than 900 AI-based devices being approved, today, by regulatory entities, for clinical use, with similar to improved performance and efficiency compared to traditional technologies. However, issues such as model generalization, bias, transparency, interpretability, accountability, and data privacy remain significant barriers for broad adoption of these technologies. AI shows great promise in enhancing CVD care through more accurate and efficient approaches. Yet, widespread adoption is hindered by unresolved concerns of interested stakeholders. Addressing these challenges is crucial for fully integrating AI into clinical practice and shaping the future of CVD prevention, diagnosis and treatment.
