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

Medical equipment failures pose serious risks to patient safety and healthcare system efficiency. Although AI-based predictive maintenance (PdM) has shown promise in other industries, its application in healthcare remains fragmented and insufficiently aligned with human-centered principles. This perspective paper proposes a novel AI-driven decision support framework that integrates systems thinking and prioritizes human-centered design. By leveraging real-time sensor data and historical maintenance records, the framework proactively predicts equipment failures and reduces downtime. It incorporates insights from key stakeholders, including biomedical engineers, technicians, patients, and administrators, to ensure human-centered and ethically responsible implementation. The paper also addresses major challenges such as data integration, human factors, and organizational readiness, offering practical strategies for sustainable adoption. This work contributes to the evolving role of AI in healthcare by emphasizing empathy, stakeholder collaboration, and safety, ultimately promoting more reliable medical devices and improved patient outcomes.
