Synthetic Data Generation via Generative Adversarial Networks in Healthcare: A Systematic Review of Image- and Signal-Based Studies.
Article in IEEE open journal of engineering in medicine and biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have emerged as a powerful tool in artificial intelligence, particularly for unsupervised learning. This systematic review analyzes GAN applications in healthcare, focusing on image and signal-based studies across various clinical domains. Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, we reviewed 72 relevant journal articles. Our findings reveal that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and electrocardiogram (ECG) signal acquisition techniques were most utilized, with brain studies (22%), cardiology (18%), cancer (15%), ophthalmology (12%), and lung studies (10%) being the most researched areas. We discuss key GAN architectures, including cGAN (31%) and CycleGAN (18%), along with datasets, evaluation metrics, and performance outcomes. The review highlights promising data augmentation, anonymization, and multi-task learning results. We identify current limitations, such as the lack of standardized metrics and direct comparisons, and propose future directions, including the development of no-reference metrics, immersive simulation scenarios, and enhanced interpretability.
