The Hidden Preceptor: How AI Is Already Teaching Our Learners.
Article in Journal of medical education and curricular development. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
While Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being used increasingly by medical learners for studying and clinical decision-making, the educational impact of AI remains an opportunity for further discussion. This commentary introduces the concept of AI as a "hidden preceptor" that influences medical learners' approach to clinical reasoning, uncertainty, and professional identity. It draws on the concepts of hidden curriculum and clinical reasoning theory. The commentary argues that typically, AI demonstrates characteristics of speed, certainty, and pattern recognition, which can be counterproductive to the educationally desired outcomes of deliberate thinking, mechanical understanding, and reflective practice. Strategies are proposed to assist educators in making AI's pedagogy an explicit part of the educational process, and to enable learners to effectively engage with AI to promote, rather than hinder, their clinical growth and development.
