Guidance for reporting artificial intelligence technology evaluations for ultrasound scanning in regional anaesthesia (GRAITE-USRA): an international multidisciplinary consensus reporting framework.
Article in Anaesthesia, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
introductionThe application of artificial intelligence to enhance the clinical practice of ultrasound-guided regional anaesthesia is of increasing interest to clinicians, researchers and industry. The lack of standardised reporting for studies in this field hinders the comparability, reproducibility and integration of findings. We aimed to develop a consensus-based reporting guideline for research evaluating artificial intelligence applications for ultrasound scanning in regional anaesthesia.
methodsWe followed methodology recommended by the EQUATOR Network for the development of reporting guidelines. Review of published literature and expert consultation generated a preliminary list of candidate reporting items. An international, multidisciplinary, modified Delphi process was then undertaken, involving experts from clinical practice, academia and industry. Two rounds of expert consultation were conducted, in which participants evaluated each item for inclusion in a final reporting guideline, followed by an online discussion.
resultsA total of 67 experts participated in the first Delphi round, 63 in the second round and 25 in the roundtable consensus meeting. The GRAITE-USRA reporting guideline comprises 40 items addressing key aspects of reporting in artificial intelligence research for ultrasound scanning in regional anaesthesia. Specific items include ultrasound acquisition protocols and operator expertise, which are not covered in existing artificial intelligence reporting guidelines. DISCUSSION: The GRAITE-USRA reporting guideline provides a minimum set of recommendations for artificial intelligence-related research for ultrasound scanning in regional anaesthesia. Its adoption will promote consistent reporting standards, enhance transparency, improve study reproducibility and ultimately support the effective integration of evidence into clinical practice.
