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

Patients' voices are often difficult to capture directly in healthcare decisions. This scoping review examines how artificial intelligence (AI) has been applied to measure and predict patient values and preferences, aiming to evaluate its potential to generate reliable, patient-centered evidence, identify opportunities and challenges, and explore AI tools in literature reviews. Analyzing 67 studies, we summarize how AI processes diverse data sources such as social media, clinical records, and patient surveys to extract population- and individual-based patient values and preferences. Researchers have applied AI for efficient data preprocessing, extraction, analysis, integration, and modeling. Despite promising validation results (e.g., >80% accuracy in data preprocessing), key challenges remain, such as data quality issues, lack of real-world validation, and ethical concerns. This review underscores the potential of AI in patient values and preferences research and calls for greater transparency and real-world implementation to better align healthcare delivery with patient needs.
