Beneficial Intelligence in Laboratory Medicine: Aligning Human and Artificial Intelligence for Value-Based Outcomes.
Article in EJIFCC, 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 integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into healthcare and laboratory medicine is reshaping diagnostics, workflows, and patient management. Yet, technological progress alone cannot ensure meaningful outcomes. The concept of Beneficial Intelligence (BI), defined as the synergy of human and artificial intelligence (H + A = B), emphasizes that technology must be guided by human purpose, ethics, and empathy. BI reframes AI not as a replacement for human expertise but as an augmentation that enables laboratory professionals to deliver care that is accurate, sustainable, and patient-centered. In alignment with value-based healthcare, BI prioritizes outcomes that matter most-clinical, operational, economic, and societal. Laboratory medicine provides a fertile ground for this framework, where digitalization, automation, and machine learning models already enhance diagnostics, risk stratification, and decision support. However, responsible adoption requires validation against patient outcomes, adherence to structured evaluation frameworks and continuous human oversight. Ultimately, Beneficial Intelligence is not only a technical model but a mindset: a commitment to ensure that the alliance of human wisdom and AI fosters equitable, efficient, and sustainable healthcare for the future.
