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

Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have made it possible to detect neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) earlier, potentially improving patient outcomes. However, AI-based detection tools remain underutilized. We studied individual valuation for early diagnosis tests for NDDs. We conducted a discrete choice experiment with a representative sample of the French adult population (N = 1017). Participants were asked to choose between early diagnosis tests that differed in terms of: (1) type of test (saliva vs. AI-based tests analysing electronic health records); (2) identity of the person communicating the test results; (3) sensitivity; (4) specificity; and (5) price. We calculated the weights in the decision for each attribute and examined how socio-demographic characteristics influenced them. Respondents revealed a reduced utility value when AI-based testing was involved (valuated at an average of €36.08, CI [€22.13; €50.89]) and when results were communicated by a private company (€95.15, CI [€82.01; €109.82]). We interpret these figures as the shadow price that the public attaches to medical data privacy. Beyond monetization, our representative sample of the French population appears reluctant to adopt AI-powered screening, particularly when performed on large sets of personal data. However, they would be more supportive when medical expertise is associated with the tests.
