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

backgroundAs health care moves to a more digital environment, there is a growing need to train future family doctors on the clinical uses of artificial intelligence (AI). However, family medicine training in AI has often been inconsistent or lacking.

objectiveThe aim of the study is to develop a curriculum framework for family medicine postgraduate education on AI called "Artificial Intelligence Training in Postgraduate Family Medicine Education" (AIFM-ed).

methodsFirst, we conducted a comprehensive scoping review on existing AI education frameworks guided by the methodological framework developed by Arksey and O'Malley and Joanna Briggs Institute methodological framework for scoping reviews. We adhered to the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews) checklist for reporting the results. Next, 2 national expert panels were conducted. Panelists included family medicine educators and residents knowledgeable in AI from family medicine residency programs across Canada. Participants were purposively sampled, and panels were held via Zoom, recorded, and transcribed. Data were analyzed using content analysis. We followed the Standards for Reporting Qualitative Research for panels.

resultsAn integration of the scoping review results and 2 panel discussions of 14 participants led to the development of the AIFM-ed curriculum framework for AI training in postgraduate family medicine education with five key elements: (1) need and purpose of the curriculum, (2) learning objectives, (3) curriculum content, (4) organization of curriculum content, and (5) implementation aspects of the curriculum.

conclusionsUsing the results of this study, we developed the AIFM-ed curriculum framework for AI training in postgraduate family medicine education. This framework serves as a structured guide for integrating AI competencies into medical education, ensuring that future family physicians are equipped with the necessary skills to use AI effectively in their clinical practice. Future research should focus on the validation and implementation of the AIFM-ed framework within family medicine education. Institutions also are encouraged to consider adapting the AIFM-ed framework within their own programs, tailoring it to meet the specific needs of their trainees and health care environments.
