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

This current opinion explores the transformative potential of explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) for health care management systems. While AI has already demonstrated substantial benefits in clinical decision-making, operational efficiency and patient outcomes, its adoption is often hindered by the lack of transparency in AI-driven decision-making. XAI bridges this gap by providing interpretability, thereby increasing trust between policy-makers, clinicians, administrators and patients. However, despite promising examples, the explicit integration of XAI remains underexplored in health care management research. This current opinion therefore aims to emphasize the crucial role of XAI in improving health care management and to position it as an important topic for advancing the field, with Health Care Management Science (HCMS) playing a leadership role in fostering this development.
