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

backgroundRecent developments in artificial intelligence (AI) systems have enabled advancements in endoscopy. Deep learning systems, using convolutional neural networks, have allowed for real-time AI-aided detection of polyps with higher sensitivity than the average endoscopist. However, not all endoscopists welcome the advent of AI systems.

methodsWe conducted a survey on the knowledge of AI, perceptions of AI in medicine, and behaviours regarding use of AI-aided colonoscopy, in a single centre 2 months after the implementation of Medtronic's GI Genius in colonoscopy. We obtained a response rate of 66.7% (16/24) amongst consultant-grade endoscopists. Fisher's exact test was used to calculate the significance of correlations.

resultsKnowledge of AI varied widely amongst endoscopists. Most endoscopists were optimistic about AI's capabilities in performing objective administrative and clinical tasks, but reserved about AI providing personalised, empathetic care. 68.8% (n = 11) of endoscopists agreed or strongly agreed that GI Genius should be used as an adjunct in colonoscopy. In analysing the 31.3% (n = 5) of endoscopists who disagreed or were ambivalent about its use, there was no significant correlation with their knowledge or perceptions of AI, but a significant number did not enjoy using the programme (p-value = 0.0128) and did not think it improved the quality of colonoscopy (p-value = 0.033).

conclusionsAcceptance of AI-aided colonoscopy systems is more related to the endoscopist's experience with using the programme, rather than general knowledge or perceptions towards AI. Uptake of such systems will rely greatly on how the device is delivered to the end user.
