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

Artificial intelligence (AI) tends to be extensively used to develop reliable, fast, and inexpensive tools for authenticity control. Initially applied for food differentiation as an alternative to statistical methods, AI tools opened a new dimension in adulteration identification based on images. This comprehensive review aims to emphasize the main pillars for applying AI for food authentication: (i) food classification; (ii) detection of subtle adulteration through extraneous ingredient addition/substitution; and (iii) fast recognition tools development based on image processing. As opposed to statistical methods, AI proves to be a valuable tool for quality and authenticity assessment, especially for input data represented by digital images. This review highlights the successful application of AI on data obtained through laborious, highly sensitive analytical methods up to very easy-to-record data by non-experimented personnel (i.e., image acquisition). The enhanced capability of AI can substitute the need for expensive and time-consuming analysis to generate the same conclusion.
