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) systems can detect subtle features in diagnostic imaging scans that radiologists may miss, including higher-order features that lack obvious visual correlates. This may enable earlier disease detection and non-invasive lesion phenotyping, but also introduces risks due to AI's reliance on correlations rather than causation, potential demographic and technical biases, and uninterpretable reasoning. This perspective explores how radiologists and AI learn to perceive details in medical images differently, leading to potential discrepancies in medical decision-making.
