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

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) remains a significant global health challenge. Early detection, accurate diagnosis, and individualized treatment planning are essential for improving patient outcomes and enhancing quality of life. Artificial intelligence (AI), including radiomics and deep learning, has shown substantial potential in the early screening, accurate diagnosis, and treatment response prediction of HNSCC. In this review, we summarize the commonly used types of medical imaging and outline the basic workflows of radiomics and deep learning in medical image analysis. We then review the applications of AI in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of HNSCC across various aspects, including screening, diagnosis, staging and grading, pre-treatment evaluation, and prognostic prediction. We further discuss the convergence of AI with emerging imaging modalities, including hyperspectral imaging, optical coherence tomography, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Notably, most studies included in this review are retrospective and single-center in design, with limited external validation, underscoring the urgent need for prospective, multicenter research to facilitate clinical translation.
