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

objectiveRecently, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has significantly enhanced the diagnostic accuracy in breast cancer screening. This study aims to deliver an extensive review of the advancements in AI for breast cancer diagnosis and prognosis through a bibliometric analysis. METHODOLOGY: Therefore, this study gathered pertinent peer-reviewed research articles from the Scopus database, spanning the years 2000 to 2024. These articles were subsequently subjected to quantitative analysis and visualization through the Bibliometrix R package. Ultimately, potential areas for future research challenges were pinpointed.

resultsThis study analyzes the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) research for breast cancer diagnosis and prognosis from 2000 to 2024, based on 2678 publications sourced from Scopus. A sharp rise in global publication trends is observed between 2018 and 2023, with 2023 producing 456 papers, indicating intensified academic focus. Leading contributors include ZHENG B, with 36 publications, and institutions like RADBOUD UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER and the IEO EUROPEAN INSTITUTE OF ONCOLOGY IRCCS. The USA leads both in publications (473) and total citations (18,530), followed by India with 289 papers. Co-occurrence analysis shows that "mammography" (3171 occurrences) and "artificial intelligence" (1691 occurrences) are among the most frequent keywords, reflecting core themes. Co-citation network analysis identifies foundational works by authors like Lecun Y. and Simonyan K. in advancing AI applications in breast cancer. Institutional and country-level collaboration analysis reveals the USA's significant partnerships with China, the UK, and Canada, driving the global research agenda in this field.

conclusionIn conclusion, this bibliometric review underscores the growing influence of AI, particularly deep learning, in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment research from 2000 to 2024. The United States leads the field in publications and collaborations, with India, Spain, and the Netherlands also making significant contributions. Key institutions and journals have driven advancements, with AI applications focusing on improving diagnostic imaging and early detection. However, challenges like data limitations, regulatory hurdles, and unequal global collaboration persist, requiring further interdisciplinary efforts to enhance AI integration in clinical practice.
