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

backgroundIn recent years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has shown transformative potential in advancing breast cancer care globally. This scoping review seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of AI applications in breast cancer care, examining how they could reshape diagnosis, treatment, and management on a worldwide scale and discussing both the benefits and challenges associated with their adoption.

methodsIn accordance with PRISMA-ScR and ensuing guidelines on scoping reviews, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Embase were systematically searched from inception to end of May 2024. Keywords included "Artificial Intelligence" and "Breast Cancer". Original studies were included based on their focus on AI applications in breast cancer care and narrative synthesis was employed for data extraction and interpretation, with the findings organized into coherent themes.

resultsFinally, 84 articles were included. The majority were conducted in developed countries (

conclusionsAI applications in breast cancer care show promise in enhancing diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning. However, persistent challenges in AI adoption, such as data quality, algorithm transparency, and resource disparities, must be addressed to advance the field.
