A Surgeon's Guide to Artificial Intelligence-Driven Predictive Models.
Article in The American surgeon, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Artificial intelligence (AI) focuses on processing and interpreting complex information as well as identifying relationships and patterns among complex data. Artificial intelligence- and machine learning (ML)-driven predictions have shown promising potential in influencing real-time decisions and improving surgical outcomes by facilitating screening, diagnosis, risk assessment, preoperative planning, and shared decision-making. Fundamental understanding of the algorithms, as well as their development and interpretation, is essential for the evolution of AI in surgery. In this article, we provide surgeons with a fundamental understanding of AI-driven predictive models through an overview of common ML and deep learning algorithms, model development, performance metrics and interpretation. This would serve as a basis for understanding ML-based research, while fostering new ideas and innovations for furthering the reach of this emerging discipline.
