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: The triage process in emergency departments (EDs) is complex, and AI-based solutions have begun to target it. At this pivotal stage, the challenge lies less in designing smarter algorithms than in fostering trust and alignment among medical and technical stakeholders. We explored professional attitudes towards AI in ED triage, focusing on alignments and misalignments across backgrounds. Methods: An anonymous online cross-sectional survey was distributed through professional networks of healthcare providers and IT professionals, between May 2024 and February 2025. The questionnaire covered four areas: (a) the General Attitudes towards Artificial Intelligence Scale (GAAIS); (b) professional background and career level; (c) challenges and priorities for AI applications in triage; and (d) the AI Attitude Scale (AIAS-4). Constructs from the extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2) were also applied. Cluster analysis ( Results: From a total of 151 professionals, Conclusions: Stakeholders' perspectives on AI in ED triage are heterogeneous and not solely determined by professional background or role. Hedonic motivation emerged as a key driver of enthusiasm. Educational strategies should follow two directions: (a) structured AI programs for enthusiastic developers from diverse fields, and (b) AI literacy for all healthcare professionals to support competent use as consumers.
