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

backgroundIn recent years, significant progress has been made in lung cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment with the continuous development of machine learning (ML).

methodsTo systematically explore the evolution and core driving factors of ML in lung cancer research since 2004, we conducted a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of 1,826 academic papers retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection.

resultsThis study reveals that the USA is at the forefront of applying ML in lung cancer research. The institutional analysis indicates that Harvard University plays a key role as a leading institution in this field. In the author co-occurrence network analysis, Madabhushi Anant stood out as a significant contributor to the application of ML in lung cancer research. Additionally, journal co-occurrence analysis shows that the SCI REP-UK published the highest volume of papers in this area. It is worth noting that several prestigious medical journals, including NEW ENGL J MED, NATURE, and CA-CANCER J CLIN, have shown significant interest in this research field. The burst citation analysis of keywords and references indicates that research hotspots have evolved from early attention to "breast cancer" and "radiotherapy" (2004-2012) to a focus on "computer-aided diagnosis" (2013-2017). Since 2018, "texture analysis", "computer-aided detection", "survival prediction", and "radiomics" have emerged as new research trends.

conclusionAs ML continues to be applied more extensively and deeply in lung cancer, "computer-aided detection," "survival prediction," and "radiomics" are emerging as vital areas, deserving more attention from researchers.
