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: Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming healthcare, demanding reevaluation of medical education. China's "New Medical Education" initiative urgently requires a standardized AI literacy framework for medical students to address fragmented standards, rapid technological evolution, and insufficient localized ethical norms. Objective: To establish a Chinese expert consensus defining core AI competencies and a multi-modal assessment framework for medical students. Methods: A multidisciplinary (including medical education, clinical medicine, medical AI, public health, and medical ethics) expert group ( Results: The consensus defines AI literacy for medical students as a comprehensive attribute for integrating AI into professional knowledge, clinical practice, research, and health management. It comprises a 21-item Competencies of AI Proficiency (CAIP) list across knowledge (eight indicators), skills (seven indicators), and attitude (six indicators) dimensions. Key competencies prioritized include understanding AI's role in multidisciplinary knowledge integration (CAIP3), identifying AI output biases (CAIP4), understanding health data governance (CAIP2), maintaining physician-led AI-assisted diagnosis (CAIP16), and identifying AI diagnostic biases (CAIP12). A multi-modal assessment framework is recommended, including paper-based/computerized tests for knowledge, situational judgment tests (SJTs) for attitudes, and objective structured clinical examinations (OSCEs) with a specific "AI Clinical Decision Conflict Scoring Scale" for skills. A multi-stage dynamic assessment system ("Pre-enrollment-Pre-clinical-Post-clinical") is proposed for longitudinal tracking. Educational integration pathways emphasize embedding AI literacy modularly from early undergraduate years, constructing an integrated curriculum covering fundamental principles, advanced large model applications (e.g., prompt engineering, agent development), and ethical considerations, supported by a "digital twin hospital platform." Conclusion: This consensus provides authoritative, China-specific guidance for defining and assessing medical students' AI literacy, adhering to national policies and regulations. It offers a core action framework for optimizing AI integration into medical education, fostering future healthcare professionals proficient in both AI technology and medical humanism, with a commitment to dynamic updating to adapt to evolving AI advancements.
