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

Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a tangible reality in medical education, yet many struggle to interact effectively with these models. This editorial introduces Prompt Engineering as the modern "digital stethoscope"-a systematic approach to maximize AI potential. A structured prompt relies on four pillars (Context, Request, Persona, Format) and advances through four levels of complexity. Strategies like instructing the AI to "think step by step" mitigate logical errors in clinical tasks. However, users must remain vigilant against AI "hallucinations" and phantom citations by using verified databases. Ultimately, while AI processes vast data, human clinical judgment remains the irreplaceable filter for patient safety.
