Religious Concerns about the Integration of Artificial Intelligence into Clinical Medicine and Patient Care.

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
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into the medical and spiritual care of the sick is expected to challenge a range of religious values and norms. Various religious authorities have expressed concerns about AI's integration, which include the questionable ability of AI to express genuine empathy, the risk of humans abandoning caretaking roles, the misuse of AI for religious rites, the attributing of spiritual and supernatural qualities to machines leading to idolatry, the undermining of provider responsibility and accountability, the dereliction of human intellect, the risk of bias and inappropriate proselytization, and threats to health equity. This manuscript identifies common concerns across major religious traditions, including Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism. AI integration should align with values that promote human health and flourishing. Such values are often rooted in religious teaching, and understanding the reservations that religious communities have toward AI will help ensure such alignment.
