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

We surveyed faculty and students at a large urban medical school to assess their awareness, usage patterns, and perceived barriers to AI adoption, aiming to identify opportunities for meaningful integration of AI into medical education. We developed a custom survey and distributed it to all medical students (Years 1-4) and a selected group of faculty involved in the MD curriculum. We used descriptive statistics to analyze quantitative data and conducted content analysis on open-ended responses. A total of 128 faculty and 138 students completed the survey. Most participants self-identified as novice AI users and reported limited awareness and infrequent use of AI tools for professional or academic tasks. They cited lack of knowledge, limited time, and unclear benefits as key barriers. Both groups called for training, ethical guidance, and institutional support to facilitate AI integration into medical education. Faculty and students expressed similar needs for targeted AI education, though they emphasized different aspects. In response, our school has conducted a faculty training session and has accelerated identifying opportunities to integrate AI into the curriculum.
