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

Background and aims: This study compares traditional emergency department (ED) triage systems with artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted triage to assess their impact on time to treatment (TTT) and patient outcomes. Emergency departments (EDs) manage high patient volumes and time-critical decisions, necessitating efficient triage. Traditional methods such as the emergency severity index (ESI) and Manchester triage system (MTS) rely on human judgment and may introduce variability. Artificial intelligence (AI)-based systems use machine learning (ML) algorithms to analyze patient data in real time, offering the potential for faster and more consistent decisions. Patients and methods: We conducted a single-center randomized controlled trial (RCT) in a high-volume tertiary hospital in Pune, India. One hundred and five patients were randomized to traditional triage (Group A) or AI-assisted triage (Group B). The primary outcome was TTT, defined as arrival at first medical intervention. Mean TTT was 31.02 minutes with AI vs 44.12 minutes with traditional triage ( Results: Intensive care unit (ICU) admission rates did not differ. Clinician ratings favored AI in terms of accuracy, workload reduction, and perceived impact. Multiple linear regression estimated an adjusted -13.1-minute effect of AI on TTT, independent of severity ( Conclusion: Artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted triage improves ED efficiency by reducing TTT without altering ICU admission rates.
