Liquid white box model as an explainable AI for surgery.
Article in NPJ digital medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Understanding surgical data in real-time will lead to improved feedback, learning, and performance for surgeons. This is important as data-driven systems offer safer, more standardized surgery, and faster training times. Artificial intelligence shows great promise in filling the gap where humans and classical computing algorithms cannot process information in an efficient manner. Defining a true application and development of robust artificial intelligence models mandates that they be explainable and transparent in how they make decisions. In this work, we meet this need by creating two models for surgical task and skill classification, respectively, to predict and provide an explanation of how surgical decisions are made. We further investigate how models based on a liquid time constant can be effectively utilized to develop better models under constraints and explain how the model makes internal decisions.
