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

Introduction: The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in healthcare offers significant opportunities to improve patient care. However, underrepresented groups such as the Arab/Middle Eastern North African (MENA) community in the United States have historically been excluded in health data and conversations regarding AI tool implementation and development. We present our experience with the Arab/MENA community exploring attitudes about the use of AI in healthcare, focusing on our engagement and recruitment efforts as well as relevance for learning health systems science. Methods: We conducted a virtual democratic deliberation session ( Results: The deliberation session highlighted four key themes related to the use of AI tools: (1) transparency in AI development was viewed as essential to building community trust, (2) human connection, with concerns that increased reliance on AI could replace empathy and weaken patient-provider interactions, (3) the role of healthcare providers, with preference on providers using AI as a supportive tool rather than replacing direct care, and (4) representation due to concerns over whether AI systems would reflect the experiences and needs of the Arab/MENA community in healthcare. Conclusions: Community-based partnerships are essential for advancing responsible AI implementation in healthcare and building a learning health system. Our experiences highlight the importance of transparency, cultural sensitivity, and meaningful community involvement to build trust and address the needs of underrepresented groups as AI evolves.
