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

Objective: Public willingness to accept medical artificial intelligence (AI) tools affect the potential real-world impact of these evolving technologies. We therefore developed and validated the Oxford Attitudes to Artificial Intelligence in Medicine Scale (OAAIMS), an instrument designed to assess public and patient attitudes towards AI use in healthcare. Methods: Candidate domains and items were generated through literature review, expert panels, and open-ended surveys, then administered to demographically representative samples (the United Kingdom Results: Exploratory factor analysis supported a 20-item, 4-factor structure with domains of Benefit (9 items), Trust (5 items), Task-specific Comfort (3 items), and Concerns (3 items). Confirmatory factor analysis showed good fit (root mean squared error of approximation = 0.055; standardized root mean squared residual = 0.037; comparative fit index = 0.963). Internal consistency was high for the total scale (ω = 0.95 UK, 0.96 US) and subscales (ω = 0.81-0.94). OAAIMS correlated with general AI attitudes (r = 0.70-0.71) and minimally with vaccine hesitancy (|r| ≤ 0.14). Each 1-point increase in OAAIMS score reduced the odds of preferring AI-free care by 8% to 9% (UK odds ratio of association [OR] 0.91, US OR 0.92; both Discussion: The OAAIMS is a brief, psychometrically robust scale capturing 4 distinct domains of public attitudes toward medical AI, developed using demographically representative samples. Conclusion: The OAAIMS can serve as a baseline descriptor, outcome measure, or stratification variable in trials and implementation studies, permitting quantifiable tracking of patient-centered barriers and allowing for de-risking nascent technologies. OAAIMS is an informatics-ready instrument for baselining, stratifying, and longitudinally monitoring public acceptance of medical AI in trials and health-system implementations.
