Ethical guidelines for deploying artificial intelligence applications in the pathology field: Lessons learned from a prospective framework in a large tertiary care academic medical center.
Article in Journal of pathology informatics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Several artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms have been developed with inherent age, sex, gender, racial, and ethnic biases. In pathology, this leads to marked performance disparities across different demographic groups. In this article, we highlight the root of differences in representation in AI, list the probable causes and clinical implications of these gaps, and propose an ethical framework for addressing representation and bias in AI in pathology. Various studies have highlighted efforts to mitigate the gaps. However, to our knowledge, there are no standard guidelines in the field of pathology that ensure the fair use of AI to counter biases in representation. We propose a heuristic framework that is tailored specifically to lab medicine and pathology workflow. Based on data life cycle and pathology workflow, these guidelines are stratified into governance and leadership strategies, preprocessing phase standards, processing phase standards, operational deployment, and ongoing monitoring guidelines.
