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

Given the high prevalence of artificial intelligence (AI) research in medicine, the development of deep learning (DL) algorithms based on image recognition, such as the analysis of bone marrow aspirate (BMA) smears, is rapidly increasing in the field of hematology and oncology. The models are trained to identify the optimal regions of the BMA smear for differential cell count and subsequently detect and classify a number of cell types, which can ultimately be utilized for diagnostic purposes. Moreover, AI is capable of identifying genetic mutations phenotypically. This pipeline has the potential to offer an accurate and rapid preliminary analysis of the bone marrow in the clinical routine. However, the intrinsic complexity of hematological diseases presents several challenges for the automatic morphological assessment. To ensure general applicability across multiple medical centers and to deliver high accuracy on prospective clinical data, AI models would require highly heterogeneous training datasets. This review presents a systematic analysis of models for cell classification and detection of hematological malignancies published in the last 5 years (2019-2024). It provides insight into the challenges and opportunities of these DL-assisted tasks.
