Faster, more accurate? A feasibility study on replacing human judges with artificial intelligence in video review for the Paris Olympics Taekwondo competition.
Article in Frontiers in sports and active living, 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
Introduction: This study explores the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of video review systems in Taekwondo, addressing limitations in current human-based judgment processes during competitions. Methods: A total of 241 video review cases from the 2024 Paris Olympic Taekwondo competition were analyzed. AI-based judgments were generated using ChatGPT-4.5 and OpenPose deep learning models. The AI-generated penalty decisions were statistically compared to those made by international video review referees using Cohen's Kappa coefficient. Results: The AI system demonstrated strong agreement with international referees ( Discussion: While AI significantly improved efficiency and showed high consistency with expert judgments, human oversight remains crucial for ambiguous or complex cases. A hybrid model-AI-assisted pre-review followed by referee confirmation-is proposed to optimize decision-making. Future developments should focus on real-time detection, multi-angle video integration, and application to other sports such as baseball, basketball, boxing, and judo.
