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

Multimodal artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionise healthcare by enabling the simultaneous processing and integration of various data types, including medical imaging, electronic health records, genomic information and real-time data. This review explores the current applications and future potential of multimodal AI across healthcare, with a particular focus on orthopaedic surgery. In presurgical planning, multimodal AI has demonstrated significant improvements in diagnostic accuracy and risk prediction, with studies reporting an Area under the receiving operator curve presenting good to excellent performance across various orthopaedic conditions. Intraoperative applications leverage advanced imaging and tracking technologies to enhance surgical precision, while postoperative care has been advanced through continuous patient monitoring and early detection of complications. Despite these advances, significant challenges remain in data integration, standardisation, and privacy protection. Technical solutions such as federated learning (allowing decentralisation of models) and edge computing (allowing data analysis to happen on site or closer to site instead of multipurpose datacenters) are being developed to address these concerns while maintaining compliance with regulatory frameworks. As this field continues to evolve, the integration of multimodal AI promises to advance personalised medicine, improve patient outcomes, and transform healthcare delivery through more comprehensive and nuanced analysis of patient data. Level of Evidence: Level V.
