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

Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) is a revolutionary tool yet to be fully integrated into several health care sectors, including medical imaging. AI can transform how medical imaging is conducted and interpreted, especially in cardio-oncology. Objective: This study aims to systematically review the available literature on the use of AI in cardio-oncology imaging to predict cardiotoxicity and describe the possible improvement of different imaging modalities that can be achieved if AI is successfully deployed to routine practice. Methods: We conducted a database search in PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, and Google Scholar from inception to 2023 using the AI research assistant tool (Elicit) to search for original studies reporting AI outcomes in adult patients diagnosed with any cancer and undergoing cardiotoxicity assessment. Outcomes included incidence of cardiotoxicity, left ventricular ejection fraction, risk factors associated with cardiotoxicity, heart failure, myocardial dysfunction, signs of cancer therapy-related cardiovascular toxicity, echocardiography, and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Descriptive information about each study was recorded, including imaging technique, AI model, outcomes, and limitations. Results: The systematic search resulted in 7 studies conducted between 2018 and 2023, which are included in this review. Most of these studies were conducted in the United States (71%), included patients with breast cancer (86%), and used magnetic resonance imaging as the imaging modality (57%). The quality assessment of the studies had an average of 86% compliance in all of the tool's sections. In conclusion, this systematic review demonstrates the potential of AI to enhance cardio-oncology imaging for predicting cardiotoxicity in patients with cancer. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that AI can enhance the accuracy and efficiency of cardiotoxicity assessments. However, further research through larger, multicenter trials is needed to validate these applications and refine AI technologies for routine use, paving the way for improved patient outcomes in cancer survivors at risk of cardiotoxicity.
