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

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming healthcare, yet its integration into medical education remains limited. As AI-powered tools increasingly assist with diagnostics, administrative tasks, and clinical decision-making, future doctors must have the knowledge and skills to use them effectively. This article explores the role of AI in medical education, highlighting its potential to enhance efficiency, improve patient care, and foster innovation while addressing ethical and safety concerns. The widespread adoption of AI presents both opportunities and challenges. While AI-driven transcription tools reduce administrative burdens and machine learning algorithms enhance diagnostic accuracy, the risks of over-reliance, algorithmic bias, and patient data security remain critical concerns. To navigate these complexities, medical schools must incorporate AI-focused training into their curricula, ensuring graduates can critically assess and safely apply AI technologies in clinical practice. However, AI should not be seen as the only solution; non-technological improvements to clinical workflows must also be considered in parallel. This article proposes practical solutions, including optional AI modules, hands-on training with AI-powered diagnostic tools, and interdisciplinary collaboration through innovation laboratories. By embedding AI education into medical training, institutions can prepare students for a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, ensuring AI is a tool for improved patient outcomes, not a source of unintended harm. As AI reshapes medicine, equipping future doctors with the skills to use it responsibly is essential for fostering a healthcare system that is efficient, ethical, and patient-centred.
