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

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming anaesthesiology through advances in machine learning, deep learning, and large language models. AI-driven tools now contribute to nearly every phase of perioperative care, including preoperative risk stratification, intraoperative monitoring, imaging interpretation, airway assessment, regional anaesthesia, and critical care. Applications such as automated American Society of Anesthesiologists classification, prediction of postoperative complications and intensive care unit needs, electroencephalography-based depth-of-anaesthesia estimation, and proactive haemodynamic management are reshaping clinical decision-making. AI-augmented echocardiography enhances chamber recognition and functional measurements, whereas computer vision systems support airway evaluation and ultrasound-guided regional anaesthesia by providing real-time anatomical identification and facilitating training. In critical care, AI models facilitate the early detection of sepsis, organ dysfunction, and haemodynamic instability, while improving workflow efficiency and resource allocation. AI is increasingly used in academic writing, data processing, and medical education, offering opportunities for personalised learning and simulation but raising concerns about accuracy and hallucinations. In this review, we aimed to summarise the current applications of AI in anaesthesiology, highlight the methodological, ethical, and practical challenges that limit its integration, and discuss future directions for its safe and effective adoption in perioperative care.
