Toward an operational definition of Artificial Intelligence for health care informatics: a Delphi survey.
Article in Health affairs scholar, 2026. 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
The proliferation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, fueled by advancements in computational power and generative models, is rapidly reshaping healthcare delivery and research. However, the absence of a standardized definition of AI impedes regulatory development, confounds public discourse, and hinders clinical adoption. This study provides clarity for AI developers and users in terminology surrounding the topic, which will ultimately assist in mitigating risks to patients and the public. Utilizing a multiphase Delphi method involving international informatics experts, we synthesized existing definitions and facilitated consensus on an operational definition of AI tailored to healthcare contexts. Our findings aim to establish a foundational framework to guide ethical governance, promote funding alignment, and optimize AI integration in clinical settings.
