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

Liver diseases, including hepatitis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), remain a major global health concern, with early and accurate diagnosis being essential for effective management. Imaging modalities such as ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) play a crucial role in non-invasive diagnosis, but their sensitivity and diagnostic accuracy can be limited. Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have improved imaging-based liver disease assessment by enhancing pattern recognition, automating fibrosis and steatosis quantification, and aiding in HCC detection. AI-driven imaging techniques have shown promise in fibrosis staging through US, CT, MRI, and elastography, reducing the reliance on invasive liver biopsy. For liver steatosis, AI-assisted imaging methods have improved sensitivity and grading consistency, while in HCC detection and characterization, AI models have enhanced lesion identification, classification, and risk stratification across imaging modalities. The growing integration of AI into liver imaging is reshaping diagnostic workflows and has the potential to improve accuracy, efficiency, and clinical decision-making. This review provides an overview of AI applications in liver imaging, focusing on their clinical utility and implications for the future of liver disease diagnosis.
