Artificial intelligence readiness and its association with artificial intelligence literacy among Chinese medical students: a latent profile analysis.

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
Objectives: To identify heterogeneous subgroups of medical students' artificial intelligence readiness through latent profile analysis and to examine their associations with artificial intelligence literacy. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted from February to May 2026 among 707 medical students from four universities in Anhui Province, China, using the Medical Artificial Intelligence Readiness Scale and the Artificial Intelligence Literacy Scale. Latent profile analysis was performed using the 22 artificial intelligence readiness items as manifest indicators. Model selection was based on information criteria, entropy, likelihood-ratio tests, profile size, posterior classification probabilities, parsimony, and interpretability. Chi-square tests, one-way analysis of variance, and multinomial logistic regression were used for exploratory profile comparisons. Results: Latent profile analysis identified three distinct artificial intelligence readiness profiles: low ( Conclusion: Medical students exhibit substantial heterogeneity in artificial intelligence readiness, with nearly half demonstrating low preparedness. The pronounced deficits in practical ability and the strong linkage between readiness profiles and comprehensive artificial intelligence literacy underscore the urgent need for tiered, behavior-oriented curricular interventions that foster proactive engagement and hands-on artificial intelligence skills across the continuum of medical education.
