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

Introduction: The fields of allergy and immunology are increasingly recognizing the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI). Its adoption is reshaping research directions, clinical practices, and healthcare systems. However, a systematic overview identifying current statuses, emerging trends, and future research hotspots is lacking. Methods: This study applied bibliometric analysis methods to systematically evaluate the global research landscape of AI applications in allergy and immunology. Data from 3,883 articles published by 21,552 authors across 1,247 journals were collected and analyzed to identify leading contributors, prevalent research themes, and collaboration patterns. Results: Analysis revealed that the USA and China are currently leading in research output and scientific impact in this domain. AI methodologies, especially machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL), are predominantly applied in drug discovery and development, disease classification and prediction, immune response modeling, clinical decision support, diagnostics, healthcare system digitalization, and medical education. Emerging trends indicate significant movement toward personalized medical systems integration. Discussion: The findings demonstrate the dynamic evolution of AI in allergy and immunology, highlighting the broadening scope from basic diagnostics to comprehensive personalized healthcare systems. Despite advancements, critical challenges persist, including technological limitations, ethical concerns, and regulatory frameworks that could potentially hinder further implementation and integration. Conclusion: AI holds considerable promise for advancing allergy and immunology globally by enhancing healthcare precision, efficiency, and accessibility. Addressing existing technological, ethical, and regulatory challenges will be crucial to fully realizing its potential, ultimately improving global health outcomes and patient well-being.
