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 poised to transform critical care by enhancing clinical decision-making, predictive accuracy, and operational efficiency. This editorial explores the expanding role of AI in intensive care units (ICUs), highlighting emerging applications such as predictive analytics, diagnostic imaging, real-time monitoring, and clinical decision support systems. Alongside these advances, the integration of AI presents critical challenges related to ethical implementation, regulatory oversight, clinician trust, and data interoperability. Drawing from current case studies and healthcare trends, this perspective underscores AI's potential to improve patient outcomes and optimize resource utilization. However, without rigorous validation, transparent practices, and a firm commitment to patient-centered design, AI risks becoming a liability rather than an asset. Sustainable adoption will require interdisciplinary collaboration, continuous evaluation, and the preservation of human connection at the heart of technologically supported care.
