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

Unlabelled: Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to transform medical training through adaptive learning, immersive simulations, automated assessments, and data-driven insights, offering solutions to persistent issues such as high student-to-faculty ratios, overcrowded classrooms, and limited clinical exposure. Globally, many universities have already embedded AI literacy and competencies into undergraduate, postgraduate, and continuing education programs, while in Vietnam, the use of AI in medical education remains limited and fragmented. Most students have little formal exposure to AI, and empirical evidence on faculty or institutional readiness is scarce. Experiences from other countries, including Malaysia, Palestine, and Oman, demonstrate that incremental adoption and faculty development can facilitate cultural acceptance and curricular innovation, providing useful lessons for Vietnam. At the same time, significant barriers remain. These include inadequate infrastructure in provincial universities, low levels of AI literacy among both students and educators, underdeveloped regulatory and ethical frameworks, and resistance to pedagogical change. Cost-effectiveness and sustainability are additional concerns in a middle-income context, where upfront investments must be balanced against long-term benefits and equitable access. Advancing AI in Vietnamese medical education will therefore require a coordinated national strategy that prioritizes infrastructure, AI literacy, faculty development, quality assurance, and sustainable funding models, alongside ethical and legal safeguards. By addressing these key foundations, Vietnam can harness AI not only to modernize medical education but also to strengthen preparedness for a digitally enabled health workforce.
