Abstract Background The role of retrospective analysis has been evolved greatly in cancer research. We undertook this meta‐analysis to evaluate the diagnostic value of Neural networks (NNs) in Fine needle aspiration cytological (FNAC) image of cancer. Methods We systematically retrieved 396 literatures on cytodiagnosis of NNs from Cochrane, PubMed, and
