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) can play a vital role in achieving a shift towards predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine, provided we are guided by the science with and of patient input. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) represent a unique opportunity to capture experiential knowledge from people living with health conditions and make it scientifically relevant for all other stakeholders. Despite this, there is limited uptake of the use of standardized outcomes including PROMs within the research and healthcare system. This perspective article discusses the challenges of using PROMs at scale, with a focus on multiple sclerosis. AI approaches can enable learning health systems that improve the quality of care by examining the care health systems presently give, as well as accelerating research and innovation. However, we argue that it is crucial that advances in AI - whether relating to research, clinical practice or health systems policy - are not developed in isolation and implemented 'to' people, but in collaboration 'with' them. This implementation of science with patient input, which is at the heart of the Global PROs for Multiple Sclerosis (PROMS) Initiative, will ensure that we maximize the potential benefits of AI for people with MS, whilst avoiding unintended consequences.
