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

objectiveThe aim of the study was to explore attitudes, needs, and expectations of employees, employers, and occupational health professionals regarding the application of AI in occupational healthcare.

methodsTwenty-three semistructured interviews were conducted between May and December 2024. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis.

resultsThe following five themes were identified: skepticism about the feasibility of using AI, perceived benefits of using AI, chances for improving quality of care, unfamiliarity leading to more reserved attitudes, and need for clarity about actionable perspectives.

conclusionsThere is an urgent need from all stakeholders for clear, actionable perspectives on AI outcomes, such as predictions of future sick leave. Future research should explore these actionable perspectives, ensuring that they are acceptable to all stakeholders and maximize occupational health benefits. Because of unfamiliarity, a longer period of co-creation with stakeholders is recommended when developing AI tools for occupational healthcare.
