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

The advances in artificial intelligence (AI) technology in recent years have been remarkable, and the field of radiology is at the forefront of applying and implementing these technologies in daily clinical practice. Radiologists must keep up with this trend and continually update their knowledge. This narrative review discusses the application of artificial intelligence in the field of musculoskeletal imaging. For image generation, we focused on the clinical application of deep learning reconstruction and the recently emerging MRI-based cortical bone imaging. For automated diagnostic support, we provided an overview of qualitative diagnosis, including classifications essential for daily practice, and quantitative diagnosis, which can serve as imaging biomarkers for treatment decision making and prognosis prediction. Finally, we discussed current issues in the use of AI, the application of AI in the diagnosis of rare diseases, and the role of AI-based diagnostic imaging in preventive medicine as part of our outlook for the future.
