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

Large language models (LLMs) have the potential to transform healthcare by assisting in documentation, diagnosis, patient communication, and medical education. However, their integration into clinical practice remains a challenge. This perspective explores the barriers to implementation by synthesizing recent evidence across five challenge domains: workflow misalignment and diagnostic safety, bias and equity, regulatory and legal governance, technical vulnerabilities such as hallucinations or data poisoning, and the preservation of patient trust and human connection. While the perspective focuses on barriers, LLM capabilities and mitigation strategies are advancing rapidly, raising the likelihood of near-term clinical impact. Drawing on recent empirical studies, we propose a framework for understanding the key technical, ethical, and practical challenges associated with deploying LLMs in clinical environments and provide directions for future research, governance, and responsible deployment.
