Artificial Intelligence in heart and brain ultrasound: the least you need to know.
Review in Internal and emergency medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in medical imaging has demonstrated substantial potential in enhancing diagnostic accuracy, reducing inter-operator variability, and improving workflow efficiency. This review examines the integration of AI into three ultrasound pillars: echocardiography, carotid ultrasound, and transcranial Doppler (TCD). These techniques have long relied on expert interpretation, but AI-driven advancements now promise to revolutionize clinical practice by providing automated image analysis, improving diagnostic capabilities, and enhancing prognostic prediction. While echocardiography remains a cornerstone in the diagnosis of heart disease, carotid ultrasound and TCD are critical for assessing brain atherosclerosis and stroke risk and management. This narrative review explores AI applications in these domains, highlighting the current state of technology, clinical implications, challenges, and future prospects.
