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

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into clinical decision-making has introduced unprecedented ambiguity regarding professional accountability when AI-assisted care results in adverse patient outcomes. Nurses, positioned as frontline users of AI clinical decision support systems, face a complex landscape where traditional notions of professional responsibility intersect with algorithmic opacity, shared decision-making processes, and evolving legal frameworks. This commentary examines the accountability challenges confronting nurses in AI-enabled practice environments, exploring the ethical tensions between following AI-CDSS recommendations and exercising independent clinical judgment. The commentary argues that clear frameworks for responsibility attribution, robust institutional policies, and strengthened professional guidance are urgently needed to protect both patients and nurses as AI becomes increasingly embedded in healthcare delivery.
