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

This article explores the characteristics and scope of artificial intelligence (AI) competitions in medical imaging. A retrospective evaluation of AI competitions related to medical imaging was conducted between 2017 and 2023. Relevant terms associated with AI and competitions were searched using the PubMed database and the grand-challenge website, and applicable studies were included in the review. The 26 AI competitions included in the review covered a wide range of topics, from brain imaging to extremities and from stroke detection to bone age estimation, with many organized through international collaborations between engineering and medical professionals. Various national screening and teleradiology databases, as well as university databases, were used. Teams from different regions worldwide participated in these competitions. These initiatives contribute to the global adoption of AI technologies in healthcare. Moreover, they help raise awareness among high school students, medical students, radiology trainees, and young radiologists of the intersection between AI and medical imaging. AI competitions play a crucial role in fostering collaboration between the medical field and AI, driving innovation, and increasing societal awareness of AI applications in healthcare.
