Exploring the Landscape of Artificial Intelligence in Saudi Arabia's Healthcare Sector: Current Trends and Challenges.
Review in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Artificial intelligence (AI) is advancing rapidly, and its potential to reshape the future of healthcare has been widely recognized. We conducted a review to understand the current state of AI in Saudi Arabia's healthcare sector. Our findings reveal that only 5.88% and 8.82% of major hospitals in Saudi Arabia have established specialized centers for AI and implemented AI in patient care, respectively. However, there has been a noticeable increase in academic interest, as evidenced by the growing number of research studies on the topic. Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 aims to position the country as a global leader in healthcare. Although institutions are gradually moving toward this goal, achieving it remains a distant prospect. Therefore, healthcare institutions and stakeholders must shift their approach from a consumer-oriented mindset to one driven by innovation and invention.
