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 rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into emergency department workflows has outpaced clinician training, vendor evaluation infrastructure, and specialty-wide governance. Emergency physicians increasingly encounter AI tools spanning triage, imaging, clinical decision support, documentation, and operations, yet most lack the foundational skills to critically evaluate or safely oversee these products. Without a unified framework, departments struggle to distinguish safe tools from risky ones, and no national standard exists to guide education, vetting, or implementation. This expert consensus opinion, an official work product of the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) AI Task Force formally endorsed by the ACEP Board of Directors in 2025, proposes 3 coordinated priorities to address these gaps. Educate: outlines a standardized AI education framework spanning residency training through continuing medical education, anchored in existing specialty-specific competencies. Evaluate: proposes an expert-derived, structured, clinician-led three-stage framework for vetting AI tools and industry partners prior to deployment. Advise: calls for the establishment of a national Emergency Medicine AI Advisory Council to issue shared terminology, best-practice guidance, and implementation toolkits across academic, community, and critical access settings. Together, these recommendations provide an adaptable, expert-derived foundation for ensuring that AI integration in emergency medicine is safe, equitable, and clinically effective.
