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

Introduction: As Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes embedded in clinical practice, medical graduates must be prepared to use it competently and critically. AI competencies and learning objectives (LOs) for medical students are needed. This study identifies these competencies and LOs for undergraduate medical education (UGME), particularly following the public release of large language models in 2022. Methods: A four-round modified Delphi process was conducted between May 2024 and January 2025. The panel included medical students ( Results: The process identified 7 competencies and 37 supporting LOs essential for medical graduates. Timelines for incorporating these across UGME were also identified as guidelines. Discussion: This study offers a framework for integrating AI into UGME, combining theoretical understanding with ethical use to prepare future physicians for clinical practice. Developed with input from students and multinational AI expert stakeholders, these competencies and LOs constitute a student-partnered, internationally informed framework that may guide curricular development in other settings.
