The role of procurement frameworks in responsible AI innovation in the National Health Service: a multi-stakeholder perspective.
Article in Frontiers in health services, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Procurement carries legal requirements across public services in the UK but, for stakeholders in clinical Artificial Intelligence (AI) innovation, it is often poorly understood. This perspective piece summarises insights from a cross-sector workshop exploring the role of procurement frameworks in supporting AI innovation in the National Health Service (NHS). The significant characteristics of AI from a procurement perspective are identified and their consequences are explored. The workshop identified challenges including visibility of AI procurement processes, uncertainty in the value in AI products, process inefficiencies, sustainability and framework design. Opportunities relating to AI procurement were also identified. These insights highlight the potential for procurement frameworks to enable responsible AI innovation in healthcare but acknowledge the need for collaborative efforts from a range of stakeholders to overcome the difficulties experienced by many to date.
