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

Multidisciplinary tumor boards (MDTs) coordinate complex oncology decisions across imaging, pathology, genomics, and patient factors. Here we synthesize how artificial intelligence (AI)-including machine learning, natural language processing, deep learning, and large language models-supports MDT preparation and deliberation. Across cancers, reported agreement between AI recommendations and MDT decisions commonly ranges from 70% to 90%, and task-focused tools achieve high diagnostic performance in screening and staging. Benefits include faster information synthesis, more consistent guideline alignment, and clearer documentation of options, while human review remains central. Key limitations-data bias, uneven generalizability, privacy and governance concerns, and limited prospective validation-temper adoption. We outline implementation priorities: prospective multicenter evaluation, integration with electronic records, clinician training, and transparent oversight. Overall, AI can augment MDT decision-making and help personalize care and workflow efficiency when deployed with rigorous evaluation and safeguards.
