Trusting AI made decisions in healthcare by making them explainable.
Article in Science progress. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectivesIn solving the trust issues surrounding machine learning algorithms whose reasoning cannot be understood, advancements can be made toward the integration of machine learning algorithms into mHealth applications. The aim of this paper is to provide a transparency layer to black-box machine learning algorithms and empower mHealth applications to maximize their efficiency.
methodsUsing a machine learning testing framework, we present the process of knowledge transfer between a white-box model and a black-box model and the evaluation process to validate the success of the knowledge transfer.
resultsThe presentation layer of the final output of the base white-box model and the knowledge-infused white-box model shows clear differences in reasoning. The correlation between the base black-box model and the new knowledge-infused model is very high, indicating that the knowledge transfer was successful.
conclusionThere is a clear need for transparency in digital health and health in general. Adding solutions to the toolbox of explainable artificial intelligence is one way to gradually decrease the obscurity of black-box models.
