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

The potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in health care and education has become increasingly evident, promising to revolutionize how healthcare professionals deliver services and how learners engage with educational content. AI enhances individualized student learning experiences and transforms education delivery by adapting to emerging healthcare advancements. We emphasize the current need for more exploration of AI's applications in day-to-day education in physiotherapy schools. We conducted a PubMed search, revealing a significant gap in research on AI in physiotherapy education compared to medical and dental education. Knowledge gaps and varied perspectives among Canadian healthcare students, including physiotherapy students, highlight the need for targeted educational strategies and ethical considerations. We conclude with a call to bridge the digital divide in physiotherapy education, stressing the importance of integrating AI to empower students and foster innovation in physiotherapy education.
