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

Objectives: This scoping review aimed to systematically review research on the application of artificial intelligence-generated (AI-generated) videos for the general public education, patient education, medical student education, and physician education, and propose a framework covering the entire video production process. Methods: Arksey and O'Malley's scoping review guidelines were followed, using the PRISMA-ScR checklist. Studies were identified from PubMed, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Google Scholar using keywords and medical subject headings terms related to "AI-generated", "evaluation" and "video", and screened for relevance, with any duplicates removed. Results: The initial 1,206 articles were reduced to 10 for review. Of these, half failed to clearly document the prompts used. Those that did provided only brief descriptions based on the application context or keywords, and the AI-generated videos consistently received low scores on validated instruments such as the Global Quality Scale (GQS), with most scoring 2 out of 5, indicating limited suitability for patient education. Comprehensive quality assessments were rare: only one study used three distinct evaluation tools, and the rest used one or two or none at all, revealing significant shortcomings in the standardization and comprehensiveness of the overall evaluation framework. Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge, this is among the first scoping reviews to synthesize the emerging evidence on AI-generated videos for the general public education, patient education, medical student education, and physician education. Few studies are reported and they demonstrate considerable heterogeneity. We identified insufficient standardization in prompts, generation pathways, tools, and evaluation instruments. We propose a procedural framework that may guide and inform future research in this field.
