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

Background Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly evolving within healthcare, promising improvements in patient care, diagnostic accuracy, and therapeutic interventions. As AI technology becomes more integrated into clinical workflows, understanding healthcare professionals' (HCPs) knowledge, attitudes, and practices concerning AI is crucial, particularly in diverse healthcare environments like South Gujarat. This study evaluates HCPs' understanding, perception, and application of AI at a tertiary care teaching hospital in this region. Methods This observational, cross-sectional study utilized a non-validated, structured questionnaire based on the Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP) framework. A convenient sampling technique was employed to recruit 290 HCPs, including consultant doctors, medical faculty, residents, and interns. Data were collected electronically via Google Forms and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results Most participants (176; 60.7%) were junior residents, with notable representation from departments like Pharmacology and Community Medicine. Regarding AI knowledge, 80 (27.6%) of participants reported full awareness, while 182 (62.8%) were partially aware. AI subtype knowledge varied, with 84 (28.9%) identifying "Self-awareness" and 50 (17.2%) "Limited Memory." Internet sources were the predominant information source for 171 (58.9%) of participants. Notably, 192 (66.2%) recognized AI's role in saving time and enhancing accuracy, although some expressed concerns about its lack of empathy and ethical implications. Conclusions The findings highlight substantial awareness but varying depths of understanding of AI among HCPs, who are interested in further AI education. Increased educational programs on AI's ethical and practical aspects may enhance AI integration into clinical practice, aiding responsible adoption in healthcare settings.
