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: Gastric cancer is a serious disease that threatens human life; early diagnosis and treatment have been the focus of many studies. With advancements in imaging evaluation and machine learning, early detection and treatment of gastric cancer have become feasible. This study aimed to explore research trends and hotspots in the field of gastric cancer and machine learning through bibliometric analysis and to provide new insights for related clinical applications. Methods: Literature on gastric cancer and machine learning published from 2004 to 2023 was retrieved from the Web of Science database. Microsoft Excel 2019 was used for statistical analysis of influential articles, journals, authors, organizations, countries (regions), and co-citation references in this research domain. VOSviewer (version 1.6.16) and CiteSpace (version 5.8.R3) were utilized to visualize the corresponding data. Results: We analyzed and evaluated 425 articles authored by 2,899 researchers from 825 organizations across 52 countries (regions). The People's Republic of China, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences were identified as leaders in this field. The article "Genome-wide cell-free DNA fragmentation in patients with cancer," published in Conclusions: This study offers a comprehensive visual analysis of research on gastric cancer and machine learning, representing the most detailed bibliometric study in this domain. With the continuous advancement of research, artificial intelligence-assisted early diagnostic methods for gastric cancer and corresponding treatment strategies may emerge as a pivotal direction for future research in this area.
