Perceptions of Surgeons in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq Regarding the Use of Artificial Intelligence.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
introductionArtificil intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing healthcare by seamlessly integrating into various aspects of human life. From robotic surgery to virtual nursing assistants and image analysis applications, AI is transforming the way we approach and deliver healthcare. By leveraging AI, patients can gain a deeper understanding of their symptoms, empowering them to make informed decisions about their health and ultimately improving their quality of life. Methods: An online survey collected data from social media platforms regarding the surgeon society in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. All statistical analyses were carried out using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 25 (Released 2017; IBM Corp., Armonk, New York).
resultsA total of 316 surgeons responded to the survey. A significant majority believed that using artificial intelligence benefits patients, and a substantial number advocated for its avoidance as a matter of principle. More than half said that AI would always impact education, and half of the participants said that AI would always affect complication prediction.
conclusionsThis is the first study investigating surgeon attitudes and perceptions regarding the use of AI in the Kurdistan region. The surgeons who responded generally appreciated AI's use in their practice. Notably, general surgeons showed greater openness to integrating AI into their daily practices compared to those in other surgical specialties.
