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

backgroundArtificial intelligence (AI)-enabled decision support systems are critical tools in medical practice; however, their reliability is not absolute, necessitating human oversight for final decision-making. Human reliance on such systems can vary, influenced by factors such as individual psychological factors and physician experience.

objectiveThis study aimed to explore the psychological factors influencing subjective trust and reliance on medical AI's advice, specifically examining relative AI reliance and relative self-reliance to assess the appropriateness of reliance.

methodsA survey was conducted with 223 dermatologists, which included lesion image classification tasks and validated questionnaires assessing subjective trust, propensity to trust technology, affinity for technology interaction, control beliefs, need for cognition, as well as queries on medical experience and decision confidence.

resultsA 2-tailed t test revealed that participants' accuracy improved significantly with AI support (t

conclusionsThe findings highlight the need to design AI support systems in a way that assists less experienced users with a high propensity to trust technology to identify potential AI errors, while encouraging experienced physicians to actively engage with system recommendations and potentially reassess initial decisions.
