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

The convergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and big data is reshaping contemporary oncology by enabling the integration of multimodal information across imaging, pathology, genomics, and clinical records. From a physician-centered perspective, these technologies can potentially be used to improve diagnostic precision, support individualized treatment planning, enhance longitudinal patient management, and accelerate both clinical and translational research. In this review, we synthesize the core AI methodologies most relevant to oncology-machine learning, deep learning, and large language models-and examine how they interact with established and emerging oncology data platforms. We further highlight practical use cases in clinical workflows and research pipelines, emphasizing opportunities for advancing precision cancer care while also addressing challenges associated with data heterogeneity, model generalizability, privacy protection, and real-world implementation. By underscoring the synergistic value of AI and big data, this review aims to inform the development of clinically meaningful, context-adapted strategies that promote translational innovation in both global and locally resourced healthcare environments.
