Open Question

How much of the published glioma imaging-AI literature survives rigorous external, multi-scanner, prospective validation — and what is the true generalization gap?

Evidence profile

Status: question. Rule: atlas-profile-2.0.

4 linked publications; not a count of independent studies.

Missing appraisal does not mean no evidence exists. Inspect the full profile and source relationships in the interactive Atlas.

Historical grade: STRONG (retained from 22 September 2026; not a completed profile 2.0 assessment).

Why it matters

Deployment and trust depend entirely on external performance; if most claims collapse on transfer, the field's evidentiary base is weaker than it appears. Note the STRONG evidence for this failure mode comes from adjacent medical-imaging AI; the glioma-specific meta-review has not been done.

Conflicting evidence

Internal AUCs are high; systematic reviews of medical-imaging AI (e.g. an emergency head-CT CNN meta-review [Menp2024]) find external validation rare and TRIPOD reporting adherence poor, and no equivalently rigorous glioma-imaging external-validation meta-review yet exists — the gap this question targets.

Proposed study direction

Meta-research: systematic re-validation of top-cited models on held-out multi-institutional data with standardized reporting (CLAIM/TRIPOD-AI); publish the generalization-gap distribution.
