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

introductionThe increasing frequency and severity of disasters worldwide underscore the urgent need for robust systems that facilitate effective information sharing and decision-making. This study explores the current and potential applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in disaster governance, with a particular focus on health. By examining the transformative capabilities of AI, the study aims to provide practical insights to inform both national and international disaster management policies.

methodsA scoping review methodology was adopted to investigate the role of AI in disaster management. Systematic searches were conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases, covering the period from 2000 to 2024. The search strategy employed keywords related to artificial intelligence, disaster management, governance, and health.

findingsThe review identified three core themes where AI enhances disaster governance: governance functions, by improving policy mechanisms, legitimacy, and health system resilience; information-based strategies, through real-time data, predictive analytics, and modeling; and operational processes, by strengthening logistics, communication, and social media management. Together, these applications improve preparedness and response capacity.

conclusionsThis study provides a structured framework for integrating artificial intelligence into disaster governance with a health-oriented approach. By synthesizing evidence across three thematic domains-governance functions, information-based strategies, and operational processes-it highlights how AI can enhance decision-making, strengthen system resilience, and enable more coordinated and equitable disaster responses. These findings offer practical guidance for policymakers and health professionals to develop adaptive, data-driven strategies in the face of increasing global disaster risks.
