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

Processes to assure the safe, effective, and responsible deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) in safety-critical settings are urgently needed. Here we show a procedure to empirically evaluate the impacts of AI augmentation as a basis for responsible deployment. We evaluated three augmentative AI technologies nurses used to recognize imminent patient emergencies, including combinations of AI recommendations and explanations. The evaluation involved 450 nursing students and 12 licensed nurses assessing 10 historical patient cases. With each technology, nurses' performance was both improved and degraded when the AI algorithm was most correct and misleading, respectively. Our findings caution that AI capabilities alone do not guarantee a safe and effective joint human-AI system. We propose two minimum requirements for evaluating AI in safety-critical settings: (1) empirically measure the performance of people and AI together and (2) examine a range of challenging cases which produce a range of strong, mediocre, and poor AI performance.
