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

backgroundArtificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being used in patient care. In the future, physicians will need to understand not only the basic functioning of AI applications, but also their quality, utility, and risks.

methodsThis article is based on a selective review of the literature on the principles, quality, limitations, and benefits AI applications in patient care, along with examples of individual applications.

resultsThe number of AI applications in patient care is rising, with more than 500 approvals in the United States to date. Their quality and utility are based on a number of interdependent factors, including the real-life setting, the type and amount of data collected, the choice of variables used by the application, the algorithms used, and the goal and implementation of each application. Bias (which may be hidden) and errors can arise at all these levels. Any evaluation of the quality and utility of an AI application must, therefore, be conducted according to the scientific principles of evidence-based medicine-a requirement that is often hampered by a lack of transparency.

conclusionAI has the potential to improve patient care while meeting the challenge of dealing with an ever-increasing surfeit of information and data in medicine with limited human resources. The limitations and risks of AI applications require critical and responsible consideration. This can best be achieved through a combination of scientific.
