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
Background: Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare is rapidly growing in recent years, and has substantially improved the quality of care and health outcomes of patients. Understanding healthcare providers' perception and knowledge of AI in healthcare is crucial for its effective adoption, and its use. This study aimed to determine healthcare providers' awareness, assess their knowledge of healthcare AI, assess their perceived benefits, readiness to adopt AI in healthcare in Limbe and Buea Health Districts. Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted using a multi-staged sampling technique that recruited participants from seven hospitals in Limbe and Buea Health Districts. A questionnaire designed on koboCollect was used for data collection through face-to-face interviews from 494 participants recruited through a multi-stage sampling technique. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 26 where descriptive statistics and logistic regressions were done to determine the factors associated with readiness to adopt AI in healthcare. A Results: A total of 494 participants were recruited into the study with a mean age of 32.6 ± 7.5 years, the majority 355 (71.9%) were females, 448 (90.7%) had attained tertiary education and the highest proportion 295 (59.7%) were Nurses. The study revealed that 373 (75.5%) were aware of the use of AI in healthcare, 261 (52.8%) had used AI tools, 213 (43.1%) had good knowledge of healthcare AI, 283 (57.3%) had good perception of its benefits and 230 (46.6%) were ready to adopt its use. Those who had access to AI tools were about 5 times more ready to adopt AI use (AOR: 4.5, CI: 3.05-6.72, Conclusion: Healthcare providers' awareness and perceived benefits of AI use in healthcare were good, the knowledge was below average, and an average of the population were ready to adopt AI. Despite the benefits of AI, most of them fear AI will replace their jobs and believe training is important for the effective adoption of AI in healthcare.
