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

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are revolutionizing human activities in various fields, with medicine and infectious diseases being not exempt from their rapid and exponential growth. Furthermore, the field of explainable AI and ML has gained particular relevance and is attracting increasing interest. Infectious diseases have already started to benefit from explainable AI/ML models. For example, they have been employed or proposed to better understand complex models aimed at improving the diagnosis and management of coronavirus disease 2019, in the field of antimicrobial resistance prediction and in quantum vaccine algorithms. Although some issues concerning the dichotomy between explainability and interpretability still require careful attention, an in-depth understanding of how complex AI/ML models arrive at their predictions or recommendations is becoming increasingly essential to properly face the growing challenges of infectious diseases in the present century.
