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

Currently, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a major public health challenge. The emergence of AMR, which significantly threatens public health, is primarily due to the overuse of antimicrobial agents. This study explored the possibility that the ethical dilemmas inherent in the context of AMR may hinder the adoption of diagnostic artificial intelligence (AI). We conducted a web survey across eight countries/areas to assess public preference between two hypothetical AI types: one prioritizing individual health and the other considering the global AMR threat. Our results revealed a societal preference for the utilization of both AI types, reflecting a conflict between recognizing the significance of AMR and the desire for individualized treatment. Interestingly, the survey indicated significant gender and age differences in AI preferences, and the majority of respondents opposed the idea of AI standardization in treatment. These findings highlight the challenges of incorporating AI into public health and the necessity of considering public sentiment in addressing global health issues such as AMR.
