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

backgroundThe medical community increasingly acknowledges the necessity for undergraduate medical curricula to formally incorporate Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) into the training of medical students to equip them with the essential skills. By the time Indian medical students complete their postgraduate training, which could span nearly a decade, A.I. tools will become more common place in clinical decision-making workflows. Despite the global trend towards emphasizing A.I. education in healthcare, Indian medical institutes lack mandates from higher authorities to incorporate A.I. into their curricula. Our study aims to assess the student's perspective regarding need for A.I. Education in Indian undergraduate medical curriculum (IUMC) and the educational needs of medical students, which may facilitate the development of a curriculum that prepares them for the challenges and opportunities presented by A.I. in medicine. MATERIALS AND

methodsA cross sectional study was conducted at A.I.I.M.S, Nagpur. An exploratory survey was conducted on M.B.B.S. students from the 2019 batch to the 2023 batch using Google Forms. Data was analyzed using the Jamovi open statistical software solid version 2.3.28 (released 2024).

resultThe survey was completed by 219 medical students. In total, 91.2% had no prior training in A.I. education, 87.1% of students hold positive views on incorporating A.I. education into the IMUC, and 80% believe that A.I. training should be experiential. No Gender difference was found between male and female students regarding perceived interest in A.I. education.

conclusionThe study highlights students' strong consensus on integrating A.I. into the IMUC, including hands-on practical applications, to enhance diagnostic skills. Medical schools should provide early exposure to A.I. Gender-neutral, experiential learning should be emphasized to meet the demands of current and future students.
