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

Introduction: The integration of artificial intelligence technology into healthcare education has been hampered by a number of difficulties. This study aimed to investigate the faculty's familiarity and perception towards AI applications in medical education concerning various demographic and professional characteristics. Methods: This observational study used a validated questionnaire distributed to health sciences colleges' faculty in Saudi Arabia from January 1 to April 30, 2025. Results: Knowledge rates among the 293 participating faculty were moderate across all groups with an overall average of 58.9%. Knowledge varied significantly with increasing years of experience and academic qualification ( Discussion: This study shows that there are still significant gaps in general knowledge, formal training, and ethical understanding, despite the supportive perception score of the health science faculty towards AI integration in medical education. Despite a general lack of knowledge and a lack of curricular content on AI applications, the results show considerable support for incorporating AI into medical education. Institutional readiness for the integration of AI in medical education is strongly influenced by obstacles, including a lack of knowledge, a shortage of skilled faculty, and fear of career threat.
