The algorithmic consultant: a new era of clinical AI calls for a new workforce of physician-algorithm specialists.
Review in NPJ digital medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
As complex AI systems become more common in clinical decision-making, a new type of physician-data science specialist is needed to bridge the gap between these AI tools and practicing clinicians. Analogous to how clinical pharmacists currently guide appropriate medication use and govern a hospital's formulary, this specialist would offer point-of-care guidance on AI tool selection and interpretation, and manage a hospital's AI systems. This role aims to enable safe and effective clinical AI by collaborating with patient-facing providers to ensure appropriate model application in the real world.
