Keyword-based AI assistance in the generation of radiology reports: A pilot study.
Article in NPJ digital medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Radiology reporting is a time-intensive process, and artificial intelligence (AI) shows potential for textual processing in radiology reporting. In this study, we proposed a keyword-based AI-assisted radiology reporting paradigm and evaluated its potential for clinical implementation. Using MRI data from 100 patients with intracranial tumors, two radiology residents independently wrote both a routine complete report (routine report) and a keyword report for each patient. Based on the keyword reports and a designed prompt, AI-assisted reports were generated (AI-generated reports). The results demonstrated median reporting time reduction ratios of 27.1% and 28.8% (mean, 28.0%) for the two residents, with no significant difference in quality scores between AI-generated and routine reports (p > 0.50). AI-generated reports showed primary diagnosis accuracies of 68.0% (Resident 1) and 76.0% (Resident 2) (mean, 72.0%). These findings suggest that the keyword-based AI-assisted reporting paradigm exhibits significant potential for clinical translation.
