Machine learning perioperative applications in visceral surgery: a narrative review.
Review in Frontiers in surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Artificial intelligence in surgery has seen an expansive rise in research and clinical implementation in recent years, with many of the models being driven by machine learning. In the preoperative setting, machine learning models have been utilized to guide indications for surgery, appropriate timing of operations, calculation of risks and prognostication, along with improving estimations of time and resources required for surgeries. Intraoperative applications that have been demonstrated are visual annotations of the surgical field, automated classification of surgical phases and prediction of intraoperative patient decompensation. Postoperative applications have been studied the most, with most efforts put towards prediction of postoperative complications, recurrence patterns of malignancy, enhanced surgical education and assessment of surgical skill. Challenges to implementation of these models in clinical practice include the need for more quantity and quality of standardized data to improve model performance, sufficient resources and infrastructure to train and use machine learning, along with addressing ethical and patient acceptance considerations.
