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

Background: Recent development in AI-driven predictive analytics have demonstrated potential to enhance critical care workflows, particularly in three areas, including continuous vital sign monitoring in the ICU, intelligent nursing process management, AI-powered early risk stratification. Objective: This bibliometric study analyzes trends of artificial intelligence research in critical care nursing between 2013 and 2023 and provides future research directions. Results: The 1,346 relevant articles revealed a clear upward trajectory in research output related to AI in critical care nursing. The largest number of articles originated from the United States, followed by China, and the United Kingdom. Harvard University was the leading contributing institution, followed by the University of California and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Keyword clustering analysis generated seven representative cluster labels. Machine learning, AI, and deep learning were the major tools utilized during scholarly investigations of AI-driven research in critical care nursing. Discussion: Our findings shed light on the opportunities for AI to transform critical care nursing practice, particularly in optimizing ICU workflow efficiency, precision patient monitoring, and evidence-based decision acceleration. Conclusion: We advocate for the expansion of this type of research, the facilitation of collaboration among research institutions, and further development of international research collaborations.
