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.

Abstract

Background: Mobile health applications and artificial intelligence (AI) are increasingly utilized to streamline clinical workflows and support functional assessment. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) provides a standardized framework for evaluating patient functioning, yet AI-driven ICF mapping tools remain underexplored in routine clinical settings. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the efficiency and accuracy of the MedQuest mobile application-featuring integrated AI-based ICF mapping-compared to traditional paper-based assessment in hospitalized patients. Methods: A parallel-group randomized controlled trial was conducted in two medical centers in Astana, Kazakhstan. A total of 185 adult inpatients (≥18 years) were randomized to either a control group using paper questionnaires or an experimental group using the MedQuest app. Both groups completed identical standardized assessments (SF-12, IPAQ, VAS, Barthel Index, MRC scale). The co-primary outcomes were (1) total questionnaire completion time and (2) agreement between AI-generated and clinician-generated ICF mappings, assessed using quadratic weighted kappa. Secondary outcomes included AI sensitivity/specificity, confusion matrix analysis, and physician usability ratings via the System Usability Scale (SUS). Results: The experimental group completed questionnaires significantly faster than the control group (median 18 vs. 28 min, Conclusion: The MedQuest mobile application significantly improved workflow efficiency and demonstrated strong concordance between AI- and clinician-assigned ICF mappings. These findings support the feasibility of integrating AI-assisted tools into routine clinical documentation. A hybrid model, combining AI automation with clinician oversight, may enhance accuracy and reduce documentation burden in time-constrained healthcare environments. Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier NCT07021781.
