The Future of Artificial Intelligence in Emergency Medical Services by 2030: An International Consensus Report.
Article in Journal of the American College of Emergency Physicians open, 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
Objectives: Artificial intelligence (AI) is an application of digital technology with considerable potential to improve quality, safety, and access; however, research on the future of AI in the health-care system and specifically emergency medical services (EMS) remains limited. The aim of this research is to anticipate the possible effects of using this technology on EMS. Methods: A Delphi panel was recruited based on proven international expertise in EMS to contribute to an iterative consensus-based Delphi study design. Data collection was initiated in September 2024 and ended in March 2025. Results: The 3-round study involved 27 expert participants and a 3-member steering group and was concluded at round 3, with 7 items not reaching consensus. The final result included 81 items with expert consensus divided into 6 EMS domains, namely communication, clinical, education, management, operations, and ethics. Conclusion: The forecasted items, although with a limited number of experts, provide an insightful model for an in-depth understanding of the future of AI in EMS and other health care, educational, and associated industries.
