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

Liver diseases consistently plague people's daily lives as a result of their high morbidity and mortality rates. Ultrasound (US), favoured by its flexibility, free of radiation, cost-effectiveness, and real-time capabilities, has been commonly employed as one of the first-line imaging tools for hepatic conditions. Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms are increasingly applied to automatically identify intricate patterns and perform quantitative analyses in US imaging, potentially reducing radiologists' workload and improving diagnostic efficiency. AI-based US has been of substantial assistance in detecting, diagnosing, screening as well as monitoring of various liver diseases, and has attracted extensive attention among the medical community. In this review, we present a general introduction to AI in medical imaging; we next review its rapidly evolving applications in liver US, covering evaluation of hepatic steatosis severity, assessment of liver fibrosis, identification of focal hepatic lesions, preoperative prediction of high-risk pathological characteristics, assessment of postoperative prognosis, and the analysis of the model of integrated application of multi-omics data; finally, we present an outlook on the clinical applications of AI-based US in the liver diseases.
