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) is rapidly revolutionizing the landscape of oncological research and the advancement of personalized clinical interventions. Progress in three interconnected areas, including the development of methods and algorithms for training AI models, the evolution of specialized computing hardware, and increased access to large volumes of cancer data such as imaging, genomics, and clinical information, has converged, leading to promising new applications of AI in cancer research. AI applications are systematically organized according to specific cancer types and clinical domains, encompassing the elucidation and prediction of biological mechanisms, the identification and utilization of patterns within clinical data to improve patient outcomes, and the unraveling of the complexities inherent in epidemiological, behavioral, and real-world datasets. When applied in an ethical and scientifically rigorous manner, these AI-driven approaches hold the promise of accelerating progress in cancer research and ultimately fostering improved health outcomes for all populations. We review examples demonstrating the integration of AI within oncology, highlighting cases where deep learning has adeptly addressed challenges once deemed insurmountable, while also discussing the barriers that must be surmounted to facilitate broader adoption of these technologies.
