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) and machine learning (ML) algorithms are revolutionising the world, and they have the potential to revolutionise neuropsychology as well. A particularly fruitful field for this revolution is the cognitive assessment of neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Mild Cognitive Impairment and Primary Progressive Aphasia. This narrative review explores the impact of ML and AI in classifying these patients by using biomarkers or neuropsychological tests, using vast amounts of data and providing previously unattainable insights. Additionally, the article will evaluate the accuracies of several ML algorithms, such as support vector machines, random forest or convolutional neural networks. The article will also discuss the challenges related to ML like the risk of overfitting and the need for ML algorithms to execute a differential analysis among several pathologies-a capability that current research has yet to achieve fully. Furthermore, it proposes new directions to improve the clinical utility and accuracy of ML classification algorithms in neuropsychology, underlining the possibility for theoretical advancements based on the results of these classifications.
