The Role of Artificial Intelligence in the Evaluation of Prostate Pathology.
Review in Pathology international, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Artificial intelligence (AI) is an emerging tool in diagnostic pathology, including prostate pathology. This review summarizes the possibilities offered by AI and also discusses the challenges and risks. AI has the potential to assist in the diagnosis and grading of prostate cancer. Diagnostic safety can be enhanced by avoiding the accidental underdiagnosis of small lesions. Another possible benefit is a greater degree of standardization of grading. AI for clinical use needs to be trained on large, high-quality data sets that have been assessed by experienced pathologists. A problem with the use of AI in prostate pathology is the plethora of benign mimics of prostate cancer and morphological variants of cancer that are too unusual to allow sufficient training of AI. AI systems need to be able to account for variations in local routines for cutting, staining, and scanning of slides. We also need to be aware of the risk that users will rely too much on the output of an AI system, leading to diagnostic errors and loss of clinical competence. The reporting pathologist must ultimately be responsible for accepting or rejecting the diagnosis proposed by AI.
