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

This rapid review explores how artificial intelligence (AI) is integrated into healthcare and examines the factors influencing trust between users and AI systems. By systematically identifying trust-related determinants, this review provides actionable insights to support effective AI adoption in clinical settings. A comprehensive search of MEDLINE (Ovid), Embase (Ovid), and CINAHL (Ebsco) using keywords related to AI, healthcare, and trust yielded 872 unique citations, of which 40 studies met the inclusion criteria after screening. Three core themes were identified. AI literacy highlights the importance of user understanding of AI inputs, processes, and outputs in fostering trust among patients and clinicians. AI psychology reflects demographic and experiential influences on trust, such as age, gender, and prior AI exposure. AI utility emphasizes perceived usefulness, system efficiency, and integration within clinical workflows. Additional considerations include anthropomorphism, privacy and security concerns, and trust-repair mechanisms following system errors, particularly in high-risk clinical contexts. Overall, this review advances the understanding of trustworthy AI in healthcare and offers guidance for future implementation strategies and policy development.
