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

Owing to the rapid progress in artificial intelligence (AI) and the widespread use of generative learning, the problem of sparse data has been solved effectively in various research fields. The application of AI technologies has resulted in important transformations in healthcare, particularly in radiology. To ensure the high quality, safety, and effectiveness of AI and machine learning (ML) medical devices, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has established regulatory guidelines to support the performance evaluation of medical devices. Furthermore, the FDA has proposed continuous surveillance requirements for AI/ML medical devices. This paper presents a summary of SaMD products that have passed the FDA 510 (k) AI/ML pathway, the challenges associated with the current AI/ML software-as-a-medical-device, and solutions for promoting the development of AI technologies in medicine. We hope to provide valuable information pertaining to medical-device design, development, and monitoring to ultimately achieve safer and more effective personalized medical services.
