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.

Abstract

Objective: This study evaluates the impact of an ambient artificial intelligence (AI) documentation platform on clinicians' perceptions of documentation workflow. Materials and Methods: An anonymous pre- and non-anonymous post-implementation survey evaluated ambulatory clinician perceptions on impact of Abridge, an ambient AI documentation platform. Outcomes included clinical documentation burden, work after-hours, clinician burnout, and work satisfaction. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and proportional odds logistic regression to compare changes for concordant questions across pre- and post-surveys. Covariate analysis examined effect of specialty type and duration of AI tool usage. Results: Survey response rates were 51.9% (93/181) pre-implementation and 74.4% (99/133) post-implementation. Clinician perception of ease of documentation workflow (OR = 6.91, 95% CI: 3.90-12.56, Discussion: Clinician experience and efficiency was improved with use of Abridge across a breadth of specialties. Conclusion: An ambient AI documentation platform had tremendous impact on improving clinician experience within a short time frame. Future studies should utilize validated instruments for clinician efficiency and burnout and compare impact across AI platforms.
