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 rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) technology have broad implications for the clinical practice of oncology. AI methods enable us to analyze unstructured patient data in a quantitative way, at scale. AI can also help to manage the exponentially growing amount of specialist knowledge, for example, by parsing information from medical guidelines. As oncologists, we will increasingly interact with AI systems in clinical routine and research. These technical developments will require a reshaping of oncology education, which needs to include the development of 'AI literacy' as a core aim. Henceforth, oncologists require an understanding of the principles of AI, and the capabilities to adapt and use AI for clinical and research tasks. They should also be able to interpret AI-generated data effectively, especially when communicating with patients who will increasingly use AI tools. Oncologists who understand the fundamental concepts of AI, its limitations, and capabilities will be able to come up with new ideas and use cases, for example, in designing clinical trials. Currently, postgraduate oncology education lacks comprehensive curricula addressing AI integration. We propose that the scientific community, in particular academic institutions, professional societies, and policymakers, should prioritize implementing AI literacy within oncology curricula.
