Deploying ambient clinical intelligence to improve care: A research article assessing the impact of nuance DAX on documentation burden and burnout.
Article in Future healthcare journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Introduction: Occupational burnout among clinical care providers, due in part to documentation burden, has reached crisis level. This study measured the effect of using new clinical documentation software, an 'ambient clinical intelligence' (ACI) program, to reduce the documentation workload and improve provider wellbeing. Methods: This was a randomised, control study with a step-wedge design. Providers were randomly assigned to use ACI early or late in the study. Medical records metadata captured time spent on documentation. Measures of burden and burnout were collected monthly. Results: ACI significantly reduced documentation burden, provider frustration and burnout. Providers spent less documentation time each day, and 2.5 h less per week of off-hours documentation. Discussion: This study demonstrates that the use of ACI does indeed relieve the documentation burden and had both subjective and objective benefits. The widespread use of ACI has the potential to alleviate the crisis of physician burnout.
