AI-human collaborative approaches in emotional training: applying visual thinking strategies as an analytical framework for medical students' drawings from art-based activities.
Article in BMC medical education, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeThis study examines AI-human collaborative emotion training for medical students using an art-based intervention with visual thinking strategies (VTS) and metacognitive reflection. It aims to measure pre-post changes in emotion appraisal, empathy, and well-being, along with post-intervention reflective writings.
methodsA quasi-experimental design compared medical students from an elective course in 2023 (control, n = 35) and 2024 (intervention, n = 33), for a total of 68 participants. The six-week intervention consisted of art-based activities three hours per week. AI-human collaborative emotion training used VTS as an interpretive framework where participants uploaded digital artwork to AI platforms, corrected AI interpretations, and compared these with peer feedback and their original intent, fostering metacognitive engagement in reflecting on the recognition and perception of both one’s own and others’ emotions. Outcome measures were emotion appraisals recorded using survey and reflective writings.
resultsSelf-emotion appraisal significantly improved in the intervention group (pre: 5.13; post: 5.40; p = 0.035) but not in the control group (p = 0.501). The significant finding remained significant after controlling for age and gender (p = 0.027). Others’ emotion appraisal showed no significant changes. Qualitative analysis revealed AI excelled in precise visual details and symbolism, while peers provided holistic, experience-based interpretations.
conclusionsAI-assisted VTS art analysis, combined with metacognitive reflection, enhanced emotional appraisal, showing how technology and human interaction complement emotional learning, offering a balanced framework for innovation and human engagement in medical education.
